Blountstown

Rivers run near it - the Chipola to the west, the Apalachicola to the east. Grab a paddle, or a tube, to glimpse limestone bluffs and experience area shoals - a particularly adventuresome one along the Chipola River Canoe Trail is known as "Look and Tremble Falls." Venture into history at the Panhandle Pioneer Settlement, an impressive collection of original and replica structures featuring 19th-century log cabins, a farmhouse and a school. The working farm here produces sugar cane and its own syrup, and annual quilt shows and peanut boils capture the essence of Northwest Florida.
