Fishbone Creek Road

The Fishbone Creek Road gives you access to the Boat Ramp at Fishbone Creek in the northern part of the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. ATVs are prohibited. The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge is unlike other Refuges in that it was not established for the protection of a specific species, but in order to protect the high water quality of the historic Suwannee River. The flow of the Suwannee feeds the estuarine waters of the Gulf of America, habitat for the Gulf sturgeon and feeding grounds for resident and migratory shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl.
