Moses Creek Conservation Area

March 9, 2026
An aerial map of the Moses Creek Conservation Area in St. Johns County, Florida, showing planned 2026 mulch mowing areas outlined in yellow within a larger blue site boundary, overlaid on satellite imagery of forest, marsh, and nearby neighborhoods. The map highlights approximately 262 acres of mowing corridors and blocks along existing district roads and firelines, notes a red-hatched area where only sand pines will be mulched, and includes caution text advising that taking equipment through the center of the property is not recommended, with labeled access points at 596 Shores Boulevard and 1300 State Road 206 East for water management district operations.

From late March through July 2026, crews will be mulch mowing approximately 262 acres at Moses Creek Conservation Area. Portions of all trails (red, yellow and white) will be impacted, including access to the Murats Point reservable hike-in campsite. Please use caution when visiting the property and always maintain a safe distance from heavy equipment; visibility from these machines can be limited and operators may be unable to see people approaching. The project’s goals are to lessen the risk of wildfires and reduce the density of undesired woody species, making way for desired species such as longleaf and slash pine.

Operational Testing Underway at Burrell Lock

February 26, 2026

Operational testing at Burrell Lock is now underway. District staff have begun locking vessels through the structure as part of the testing process.

We appreciate the public’s patience as we work through initial operations. While boats are being accommodated, additional adjustments and fine-tuning are still underway to ensure the lock functions safely and efficiently.

Boaters are encouraged to follow on-site instructions and allow extra time during this testing phase.

Temporary Website Outages

We want your visit to sjrwmd.com to be a positive and productive experience. At times, we will need to perform routine hardware and software maintenance that may cause some areas of the site to be intermittently off-line. We do apologize for this temporary, but necessary, inconvenience. We are working diligently to quickly restore complete functionality to the site.
