Visit our Nature Center to learn about the Apalachicola River and Bay!

Designed to give visitors a sense of place and to orient them within the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint watershed, the exhibits demonstrate the connectivity among habitats (River, Bay and Gulf). The watershed is a continuum of habitat, and not comprised of discreet, separate systems.
