Location
The Charles H. Bronson State Forest's most notable feature is the St. Johns River, which makes up part of the forest's eastern boundary. It is designated as an American Heritage River and, at 310 miles, is the longest river in Florida. The forest provides a crucial source of protection for wetlands and associated natural communities within the floodplain of the St. Johns River. Other natural communities include wet prairie, pine flatwoods, sandhill and cypress swamp. The forest supports a variety of wildlife, including deer, turkey, gray squirrel, alligator, Sherman's fox squirrel, gopher tortoise, bald eagle, roseate spoonbill, sandhill crane and wood stork.
