The Chipola River spans 89 miles through Jackson, Calhoun and Gulf Counties and is the largest tributary of the Apalachicola River, which flows south into the Gulf of Mexico.

The Chipola River has a rich history -- its banks were first made famous in 1540 during renowned explorer Hernando DeSoto's quest for treasure in the new world. For centuries the Chipola River was the lifeline for several Native American tribes (remnants of which can still be found today). Centuries later the Chipola River and its bridges played a vital role in the American Civil War during the Battle of Marianna.

Today, the Chipola River is famed for its freshwater springs and crystal clear waters. It has been established as one of many natural Florida wonders and is well know for its canoe trails, having been added to the Florida Statewide System of Greenways and Trails.
