Apalachicola National Forest, Nature reserve in Florida Panhandle, US.
The Apalachicola National Forest spans 632,890 acres across Franklin, Leon, and Wakulla counties, featuring pine forests, wetlands, and hardwood swamps.
The United States Forest Service established Apalachicola National Forest in 1936 to manage timber production and protect natural resources in the Florida Panhandle.
Native American archaeological sites throughout the forest reveal centuries of human presence and resource utilization before European settlement.
Visitors can access multiple recreational areas for hiking, camping, fishing, and wildlife viewing through entrance points in Bristol and Crawfordville.
The forest contains two designated wilderness areas: Bradwell Bay and Mud Swamp/New River, with 100 acres of old-growth Slash Pine-Swamp Tupelo formations.
