Point Washington Recreation and Real Estate for Sale

Along with the recreational opportunities–such as boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, sailing, and, most especially, fishing–afforded by their proximity to Choctawhatchee Bay, Point Washington residents are within steps of the bounties offered by Point Washington State Forest and Eden Gardens State Park.
 
The 15,400-acre Point Washington State Forest is home to several distinct ecosystems, including cypress swamp, basin swamp, sandhill wet flat woods and wet prairie. The forest has a three- to 10-mile looped trail system popular with hikers and bikers, and overnight camping is allowed in special primitive campsites. A 27-mile greenway trail system that will link the forest with Grayton Beach State Park, Deer Lake State Park, Topsail Hill State Preserve and numerous residential developments is currently under development.
 
Eden Gardens State Park is famous for its 161 acres of majestic Spanish moss-draped live oaks, ornamental gardens filled with roses, azaleas and camellias, and an elegant turn-of the 19th century plantation-style mansion. The 1895 antebellum-style “Wesley House” and surrounding gardens provide a historic perspective on what was an especially prosperous era along Florida’s northwest coast.
