Steinhatchee Facts:
As well as being the BEST place to go scalloping, Steinhatchee has been a must visit for both fresh water and salt water fishing, and crabbing as well. The Steinhatchee River is one of several rivers that empty into the Gulf of Mexico, giving the river a brackish color that fish love! Fish from any number of docks, or out on the water in rock-based natural reefs that vary from 25 to 65 feet deep or the three artificial reefs 10 miles offshore. Redfish, Speckled Trout, Grouper, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and more can easily be found. Don’t be surprised to even see a dolphin or two close to the mouth of the river!
If fishing isn't your thing, that's fine too! The river is great for hiking, kayaking, swimming, or even horseback riding. There are also 1000's of acres of forested land perfect for hunting.
