July Field Trip - Dinner Island Ranch

  • Dinner Island Ranch 17781 Co Rd 833 Clewiston, FL, 33440 United States (map)

Come join us at Dinner Island Ranch for some late afternoon and evening photography. Perhaps we can capture some afternoon thunderstorms, a gorgeous sunset, and maybe some moonlit landscapes'; whatever nature decides to give us. For sure, it’ll give us cows and they’re just so cute! Most likely you’ll see many birds. Maybe even the elusive Crested Caracara!

Dinner Island Ranch is a HUGE piece of property. I highly recommend you do a little research (if you haven’t been here before) to get a lay of the land before showing up. Click the LINK here. In short, it was once owned by the Hilliard family as a cattle ranch, but also grew a bit of citrus and sugarcane.

Eventually the State became the owners of the property and its now operated as a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) that still allows cattle ranching. And there are cows everywhere roaming the prairie and woods. There are a few buildings located on the property that make for great photos. And as a WMA, there are plenty of birds and other wildlife. I’ve seen deer and alligators, and of course, mosquitoes.

Lets meet at the Check Station circled in red below. From there, we can caravan as one unit, or we can spread out and explore and stop to photograph what looks interesting to you.
