The Ballplay Swamp is an extensive network of contiguous wetlands that span about 3500+/- AC in Cherokee and Etowah counties, and the area is teeming with wildlife, especially ducks. This tract is mostly in the floodplain of Ballplay Creek. The soils are marshy and wet most of the winter. The creeks sloughs and marsh system is best described as a labyrinth of waterways. There are pockets of big open water, flowing streams and standing water in the timber. It actually has its own unique beauty to it. There are pockets of mature oaks on slightly higher ground and there are huge tupelo trees with wide basal flare in the sloughs. This combination of habitats holds ducks, deer and turkeys. The property touches a paved county road and there is a trail system within the tract, with plenty of mud to ride through but does get you deep into the property. There are established duck blinds in place as indicated on the map, and the current hunters have staged out boats/canoes in various areas to help maneuver around the property easier. This area has held waterfowl in the Coosa River flyway for decades. Only 1:30 from Birmingham and around 1:45 from Atlanta, this could make someone a great place close to home as an alternative to traveling out to Arkansas or MS, LA. This could be that hunting tract that is your special getaway to enjoy with family and friends. Please reach out to the listing agreement Ben Richardson or Jason McGee, we have walked the property and marked the trails and would be glad to discuss more details.
