Fishing

The District preserves hundreds of miles of freshwater shoreline along many of the most beautiful rivers and lakes in the region.

Fishing is allowed along the banks of District water bodies and by boat unless an area is posted closed to fishing. All fishing on District lands is subject to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission license requirements and regulations.
