When you think of Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach Florida or anywhere along the Gulf Coast, you picture beautiful beaches, white sands and the sound of waves rolling in. Did you know there is a whole different kind of beauty that can be found less than an hour inland? Its called the
Dead Lakes near Wewahitchka. The Dead Lakes are fed by the Chipola River and eventually empty into the Apachiciola River.The Dead Lakes were formed when a dam across the Chipola River caused the hydrology of the area to change, and many of the cypress and tupelo trees died. Today, the area is full of life and offers great fishing, bird watching, and scenic kayaking and boating. Photographers, adventurers and nature enthusiasts love to visit the unique and picturesque Dead Lakes.
