Established in 1822, Jackson County is as rich in history as it is in
natural beauty. Along shaded avenues and down winding trails, visitors
discover the rich and colorful heritage of the area in cities and towns.
Elegant antebellum homes, sprawling plantations and farmland, Civil War
battle sites and monuments all give a fascinating glimpse into the area's
history.
Jackson County is a nationally known sport fishing favorite. From the
boat or the bank, the winding Apalachicola River and Ocheesee Pond are
equally popular fishing places.
Enjoy year round outdoor activities such as swimming, fishing, boating,
water skiing, hunting, golf, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and many
more great past times. Plan your vacation around our exciting fun.
An attraction unique to Jackson County, the Florida Caverns State Park
allows visitors a chance to tour the state's only walk-through cave system.
Once used as shelter by aboriginal Indians, the caverns reveal an amazing
world of black pools, brilliantly lit, jagged formations and dripping limestone
stalactites.
Above ground, visitors can enjoy hiking and horseback riding trails,
picnic and campgrounds, swimming and canoeing to explore a diverse ecosystem
of plant and wildlife. Wildflowers, trees and other plants more typical
of the southern Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia are home to woodpeckers,
barred owls, beavers, alligators, rare Barbour's map turtles, alligator
snapping turtles and other species. The state park is also home to one of
the county's two nine-hole golf courses.
Interstate 10 and U.S. Highways 231 and 90 put Jackson County well within
an hour's drive of major airports in Tallahassee, Panama City and Dothan
Alabama, and a municipal airport services private and charter aircraft. The
county also has convenient Greyhound Bus service, as well as Amtrak service
just minutes from the county line.
Hidden in the heart of Northwest Florida's panhandle, Jackson County
holds pristine natural treasures and a tradition of southern charm and
hospitality.
