Columbia County, Florida
Columbia County sits in north Florida, about halfway between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Lake City is the biggest town and county seat. The Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers form part of its borders.
I-75 and I-10 intersect here, making it a pit stop for travelers. The Florida Gateway College brings some youthful energy to Lake City. Columbia County feels like classic North Florida, with oak trees draped in Spanish moss.
It’s a place where country living meets small-city conveniences. Outdoor recreation includes lots of springs and parks. The Olustee Battlefield is a draw for history buffs. Agriculture still plays a big role in the local economy.
