Jackson County, Florida
Jackson County sits in Florida’s Panhandle, bordering Alabama and Georgia. Marianna serves as the county seat, with its historic downtown. Farming still plays a big role in the local economy. You’ll find more peanut fields than palm trees here.
The area is known for its limestone caves and crystal-clear springs. Florida Caverns State Park draws visitors year-round for underground tours. The Chipola River offers great spots for fishing and kayaking. Lake Seminole, on the Georgia border, is popular for bass fishing.
The county has a rich history, with sites dating back to Native American settlements. Locals enjoy a slower pace of life, far from Florida’s tourist hubs. Jackson County feels more Southern than stereotypically Floridian. It’s quiet, rural, and proud of its agricultural roots.
