Jefferson County, Florida is commonly referenced as ‘Keystone County’ as a result of its location in the Big Bend Region of the state. A step into Jefferson County is a step into old Florida, where you will find small towns, untouched nature, and not a single traffic light. Really! The county extends from the Georgia State line to the Apalachee Bay of the Gulf of Mexico.
In Jefferson County’s major city of Monticello, you will come across the historic Monticello Opera House. Here you can plan a wedding in the venue of your dreams or enjoy community produced plays and musicals year around. Additionally, in Monticello, sample fine wines and pick native Florida grapes at the Monticello Vineyards and Winery.
Other activities in Jefferson County include a multitude of public parks and nature conservation areas. The Letchworth-Love Mounds State Park offers a glimpse into the culture and history of the Weedon Island Culture, Native Americans that occupied north Florida over 10,000 years ago! The combination of beautifully preserved walking paths and archeological anomalies makes for a truly unforgettable experience.
South Jefferson County is mostly occupied by the protected lands of the Aucilla Wildlife Management Area and the Flint Rock Wildlife Management Area. In these areas you will find Wacissa Springs, Little Blue Spring, and the Florida Trail Aucilla Sinks Trailhead.
