The Carter Tract was operated as a popular fishing ranch by its owner, Mr. Fitzhugh Carter, in the 1960's and 1970's. During drought conditions, some of the old cypress boats Mr. Carter built and rented to anglers can be seen exposed on pond banks throughout the area. The tract was later leased as a private hunting area. The primary objective of the Carter Tract is the preservation and restoration of the wetlands and surrounding uplands on the property. This is one of my FAVORITE places to go, when I am in Panama City Beach, Florida. There is no charge for using the row boats on the lakes and the natural environment is pristine. A peaceful day, drifting in a boat on the lakes, soaking up the sun with a fishing line in the water makes for an AMAZING experience.
