Putnam County is a place where you can come to breathe, surrounded by quaint architecture and an abundance of nature, it provides a dream-like escape. However, Putnam County is bordered by the major cities of Gainesville, Jacksonville, and historic St. Augustine which offer a multitude of fun things to, so you will never be bored. In addition to being close to big cities, the St. John’s River passes almost directly through the center of Putnam County, and it is also a short commute to St. Augustine Beach and more!
Some of Putnam County’s biggest cities include Palatka, Crescent City, and Welaka. Palatka is well known as ‘The City of Murals’, it gets this name due to over 20 vibrant and colorful murals painted to display the citizens’ sense of pride they feel for their city’s rich history. In addition to the murals that are scattered around the downtown district, the Bronson Mulholland House, and the David Browning Rail Museum, are both places to gain more knowledge of Palatka’s unique past. You will also not want to miss the opportunity to see the Azalea flowers in full bloom during the Spring, at the Ravine Gardens State Park and the Rice Creek Conservation Area. Next, in Crescent City practice your golf swing at The Oaks Golf Club or spend a day at Lake Stella where you can relax on the beach or enjoy a multitude of watersports. Hallie’s Landing in Crescent City is an awesome place to spend the day with the family. While there, you can paddle to your hearts content on Lake Stella, and when you’ve work up an appetite dig into cuisine that is a favorite amongst locals and visitors alike! Lastly, gear up for some fun in the sun at the Welaka State Park and Spring in the city of Welaka, where they offer hiking, camping, and paddling.
Much like many parts of Florida, Putnam County is a place where you can have it all. Its prime location allows you to be close to business hubs, colleges, amusement parks, beaches, and more!
