Washington County, Florida
Washington County is a rural county that sits in the Panhandle, about 2 hours west of Tallahassee. Chipley is the biggest town, but it’s still pretty small. The area is known for its farms and forests.
Falling Waters State Park is a key attraction as it has Florida’s highest waterfall. Locals love to fish in the creeks and rivers. The county fair is great every year.
You’ll find some Civil War history here too. It’s the kind of place where people wave at passing cars. The pace is slow, and that’s how folks like it.
