Ahhochee Hill Sanctuary is at 24268 Lake Lindsey Road (County Road 476). A fire station is just east of U. S. 41 on County Road 476/Lake Lindsey Road. The entrance to the sanctuary is just east of the fire station. If you are traveling west on County Road 476 and you see the fire station, you have gone too far.

Light refreshments will be provided.

The property was left to Audubon Florida by Lisa von Borowsky, one of Hernando Audubon's first board members and a longtime supporter of Audubon Florida.
