The Apalachicola River is a 106-mile-long river in Florida that flows from the Georgia border to the Gulf of Mexico. The river has a rich history, with Native Americans and European settlers using it for transportation and trade. The river is a vital source of water for agriculture in the region, with crops such as cotton and peanuts relying on it for irrigation. The Apalachicola River is also home to several hydroelectric power plants, including the Jim Woodruff Dam, which creates Lake Seminole. The lake is a popular recreational spot for fishing and boating. The river is known for its diverse wildlife, including alligators, bald eagles, and manatees. Despite its importance, the Apalachicola River has faced challenges, including issues with water management and disputes over water usage between Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
