Once you've started your day with a continental breakfast in the Welcome Center's dining room, set out to enjoy the many activities available at Steinhatchee Landing Resort. Cruise the Steinhatchee River in a pontoon boat, canoe or kayak. The Landing's staff will transport you upriver to Steinhatchee Falls for a refreshing canoe trip where you paddle downriver to the Landing, a three-hour excursion. (This trip includes a small transportation charge and a rental fee for the canoes or kayaks.) For additional exploration, take a bicycle tour of the Steinhatchee area or refresh with a relaxing dip in the pool. Kids of all ages enjoy shuffleboard, the tennis and basketball courts, a fitness center, jogging trail, petting zoo and playground.

South of the Landing and across the Steinhatchee River are miles of river-bottom wilderness trails that meander through a thick forest of oaks, pines, palms and magnolias.

Day trips from the Landing to nearby State Parks provide opportunities to explore some of Florida's many natural wonders and see native wildlife in their own environment. (See separate State Parks page this section.) 

The resort is located near more than 100,000 acres of Preservation 2000 lands acquired under the Save Our Rivers program. This includes miles of undeveloped Gulf Coast frontage. The gulf and fresh water streams that flow through the area provide habitat for more than 100 bird species creating a paradise.

Additional recreation opportunities for the avid hunter, paddler and birder, are available at the following nearby locales.

The Big Bend Wildlife Management Area provides numerous areas for hunting opportunities and seasons for archery, muzzleloader, and modern gun hunting. Dallus Creek in the Tide Swamp Unit, nine miles north of Steinhatchee, offers a short hiking trail, great birding and wildlife viewing, paddling, fishing, and a scenic driving tour.
