This section of the Apalachicola National Forest located in Northern Wakulla County Florida, is an area know by the locals as “Oak Garden”. Wakulla is a Timucuan Indian word meaning “spring of water” or “mysterious waters”. This basin flanked by a stand of ancient arched Live Oak trees, fills with water for a few days after a rare heavy sustained rain. As the water seeps into the porous limestone below the leaf laden forest floor, eddies form and swirl, dancing to their own song of nature.

The Apalachicola National Forest is the largest U.S. National Forest in the state of Florida. It encompasses 632,890 acres (988.89 sq mi; 2,561.2 km2) and is the only national forest located in the Florida Panhandle. The National Forest provides water and land-based outdoors activities such as off-road biking, hiking, swimming, boating, hunting, fishing, horse-back riding, and off-road ATV usage.
