The Apalachicola is one of the most bio diverse places in the world, and Camel Lake places you in the middle of this natural treasure.

Rare pine savannahs are just to the south and the creeks and swamps around host a wide variety of animal life.
Nearby, several boat landings provide access to the numerous creeks that feed into the Apalachicola River. The Apalachee Savannahs Scenic Byway and the Big Bend Scenic Byway provide beautiful views of pine savannahs, and they make excellent routes for trips down to the coast, which is only about an hour south.
