Apalachicola National Forest
- US County of Liberty County in Florida
- As Noted In: US National Forest, US Forest Service
Located just south of Tallahassee, the Apalachicola National Forest is Florida's largest National Forest, spanning 571088 acres. It is a place of botanical splendor, with virgin stands of pines and cypress, vast pitcher plant savannas, and extensive forests of longleaf pine crucial for survival of the red-cockaded woodpecker.
The Apalachicola National Forest includes six watersheds and more than 2500 acres of water, encompassing the Apalachicola River, New River, Ochlockonee, Sopchoppy, Lost Creek, and Wakulla River basins. A steady flow of fresh water from upland areas feeds the productive coastal nurseries of Apalachicola Bay and Ochlockonee Bay, both known for their shellfish and commercial seafood operations. - US Forest Service
