Mud Swamp/New River Wilderness offers remote primitive camping and non-motorized boating in one of Florida's most isolated areas, with the New River providing a challenging six-mile paddling route from Carr Bridge to Magnolia Landing through cypress and gum swamps lined with Atlantic white cedar.

This is an undeveloped, free-access site with no amenities (no restrooms, potable water, or marked trails), best suited for experienced paddlers and adventurous campers willing to check in at a district office before visiting.

Heavy rainfall and summer conditions create ideal environments for biting insects, and hiking can be dangerous due to poorly drained, water-logged terrain.
