Apalachicola National Forest is the largest National

panhandle, in a picturesque region of swamps, lakes, and rivers. The smallest
National park that lies in the north is Osceola National Forest. Farther
south, in the Lake District, is Ocala National Forest. It is a vast wilderness
area of pines and other trees and springs and lakes. Many national wilderness
areas are located in Florida’s national forests, including Big Gum
Swamp. The waters and wetlands of Pelican Island support a major ecological
system that sustains hundreds of species of birds, fish, plants, and mammals.
