Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge & Shell Mound

This is one of the easiest “wow, we are really in old Florida” trips from Cedar Key. Shell Mound gives you a short walk with big history, wide marsh views, and access to the wilder edge of the Lower Suwannee refuge.

Best Season: Fall through spring

Why it’s cool: You are standing near ancient shell works and tidal marsh habitat that feels far removed from the modern world, even though it is an easy drive from town.
