On Apalachicola River

The Apalachicola River runs about 106 miles through the Florida Panhandle, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It starts at Lake Seminole on the Florida-Georgia line at Chattahoochee and ends at the Gulf at the town of Apalachicola. By the volume of water it discharges, it is Florida's largest river. The Flint and Chattahoochee rivers join to form it inside Lake Seminole, the reservoir behind Jim Woodruff Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began building the dam in 1947 and finished it in 1957. Below the dam the river flows south past Bristol and picks up the Chipola River in northern Gulf County. It empties into Apalachicola Bay. Its watershed, the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) basin, drains about 19,500 square miles. Extensive swamps line the lower 30 miles.
