Birding at Hontoon Island State Park

Hontoon Island is a 1,650-acre park located on the St. Johns River, southwest of DeLand. We will take a ferry over to the island and then go on a 3-mile walk through mesic flatwoods, floodplain forest and hydric hammock. Restrooms are available on the island. All levels and ages of birders are welcome.

Meet 7:45 am at the ferry boat landing
