Apalachicola River
Forming the western boundary of the forest, the Apalachicola is a wide, curving river rolling down to Apalachicola Bay. It has the highest diversity of freshwater fish species in the state, which translates to some of the best fishing in Florida's Panhandle. The numerous creeks and tributaries feeding into the Apalachicola offer scenic runs with deep, quiet pools.
