Liberty County is defined by its land and water. The Ochlockonee River, Apalachicola River, and Telogia Creek run alongside quiet places like Lake Mystic and Camel Pond, shaping daily life and outdoor traditions. These waters support recreation and wildlife, and they reflect a community that remains closely connected to the outdoors.
Large natural areas continue to define the county, including Tate’s Hell State Forest, the Apalachicola National Forest, Torreya State Park, lands protected by The Nature Conservancy, and miles of the Florida Trail. Together, they provide outstanding opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, and exploration, while preserving a rural landscape that has become increasingly rare.
Liberty County remains proudly rural. Wide-open and undeveloped areas offer space to explore today and room for thoughtful development in the future. This balance allows residents and visitors to enjoy quiet, authenticity, and a slower pace of life, while still supporting responsible growth and new opportunities.
While peaceful in character, Liberty County is well-positioned. The county is located near Interstate 10, offering convenient regional access, and is within easy reach of the Gulf Coast, the state capital in Tallahassee, regional airports, and nearby metropolitan areas. This location provides access to commerce, transportation, and services without sacrificing quality of life.
With deep roots reflected in landmarks such as the Gregory House historic churches, homesteads, and river communities that dot the county, along with a long history of agriculture and forestry, Liberty County continues to move forward with care. The community remains committed to preserving its natural beauty and heritage while investing in infrastructure, connectivity, and opportunity for future generations.
