This is not just a tour of a pretty old house but an excellent overview of the history of Apalachicola. The FL State Parks guide gave an interesting and amusing talk about the Orman family and their connection with the boom and bust of the area. We highly recommend touring the Orman House.

We took the boat ride and it was great. We saw Manatees and many birds. The guide was funny and told us about the movies filmed at this location. Great family fun!

There are numerous hikes throughout the forest. There is a great preservation of this forest by Florida. And by preserving the forest, they are also preserving the wildlife that thrives within it. A beautiful area.

Went boating using the boat ramp located at the end of Williams Landing rd. The lake is absolutely beautiful. The park has comping sites which can be used at no cost to the campers.

Every year for the past eight years we've spent spring break camping on the beach in the Florida Panhandle. However, the last two years we've pulled up our tent stakes early and headed into the back-country of Apalachicola National Forest, to experience a whole different side of the sunshine state. Indeed, the back-roads towards small villages with names like Wewahitchka,... More
