Shell Mound, Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge
Florida Native American Heritage Trail
This area of the Wildlife Refuge contains a shell mound that was built up over a 1,000 year period. Between 1,800 and 400 years ago, native people used oysters and clams and food and discarded the shells, creating a large mound. A hiking trail provides views of the mound.
