Putnam County, Florida

Putnam Location Map Florida

Putnam County is tucked away in northeast Florida, often overlooked by tourists. Palatka, the county seat, sits on the St. Johns River. The county has a wild, natural beauty with plenty of lakes and forests. Bass fishing is huge here so they call Palatka the “Bass Capital of the World.”

You’ll find more gators than people in some parts. The Ravine Gardens State Park is a hidden gem, especially when the azaleas bloom. The county’s seen better economic days, but locals are resilient.

Crescent City, on Crescent Lake, showcases old Florida charm. Boat tours on the St. Johns are popular with visitors. Putnam County moves at its own pace, far from the coastal hustle. It’s a place where you can still find peace and quiet in Florida.
