While the ocean is the main draw, the county’s crown jewel is its Blackwater River State Forest.

Breathtaking Waterways
With undeveloped forest lining both sides of the river, the Blackwater has no shortage of wildlife. An old-timer fishing for crappie at the bridge where we put in tells us to be on the lookout for bobcat.

Northwest Florida Overview
The “Forgotten Florida” is that stretch of the Sunshine State from Pensacola east to almost Tallahassee. In olden days, it was a sparsely populated region of thick pine forests, with the old colonial city of Pensacola acting as its hub.

Walking the Historic Towns of Northwest Florida
At first DeFuniak Springs was to be a pit stop - a place to fill up on gas and coffee. But an old Victorian house coaxed me to make a detour, and then what I saw made me get out and walk.

DeFuniak Springs and Milton
The result is a picture-perfect view of marine life and plants under the water, and pristine, sandy "beaches" along the banks just right for impromptu picnics.

Pensacola to Tallahassee
It's clear to see why this portion of Highway 90 has been designated a Scenic Highway before you leave the Pensacola city limits, as the road hugs the edge of wooded bluffs hanging 100 feet over Pensacola Bay.

Here you can take a long, secluded shoreline stroll along the deserted, powder beaches of another part of the National Seashore.

Paddling in Coldwater Creek
Anyone from "lower Florida" struggles to fit the place into a mindset: 30-foot-high bluffs, silver clear water, river rock, shifting sand bottoms, rill waterfalls, rapids.
