Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area is one of the largest natural areas in Martin County. At just over 21, 000 acres, this preserve allows you to get out into the wilderness whether you are hiking, biking, horseback riding, or camping.

For hiking, there are three main trailheads- Cottage Road in the northeast quadrant on the north side of 714 and the two Fox Brown trailheads in the southwest quadrant.
