Trails
Putnam County is quickly becoming known as the “Trail Hub” of Northeast Florida. The trail corridor stretches nearly 47 miles from west of US 17 in Palatka to State Road 238 in Lake Butler, as it runs along the former Norfolk-Southern Railroad right-of-way through Putnam, Clay, Bradford and Union counties.
Idle Awhile
Located on the St. John’s River at the mouth of Lake George, we offer stunning sunset views with easy access to the river. It is the perfect location to relax at a place that will give you that Old Florida feel.
We are all about the freshest food, a great atmosphere, and good friends. Come visit us and experience our restaurant and bar.
Experience Real Florida Fishing
Putnam County is home to 3 of the "Top 10" bass fisheries in Florida - the St. Johns River, Crescent Lake and Rodman Reservoir.
There are many fishing options around Port Cove! Crescent City calls itself the ‘Bass Capital of the World’, and Palatka hosts fishing tournaments throughout the year.
Fish right off the dock at Port Cove and you’re likely to catch crappie, bluegill, catfish, bass, and even an occasional freshwater stingray.
Barberville
Yard Art Emporium
An oddity off FL-40, you can’t miss it driving by. Look for the metal T-Rex next to the Eiffel Tower. With 3 acres of metal statuary, this local shop has something for everyone. From Mexican pottery, to recycled aluminum yard art, to local honey, it’s a bit of everything!
