Across the Florida border, you'll find the Blackwater River State Park, where nearly 600 acres of river corridor shelter upland pine forests, magnolia, flowering dogwood, gallberry, saw palmetto, wiregrass, and wild blueberry. The Blackwater, one of the purest sandbottomed rivers in the world, eventually empties into the Blackwater Bay after meandering through magnolia groves for some 58 miles.

Within the forest, towns include Dixie, Rome, Bradley, and Wing. Just outside, you'll find Andalusia, Opp, and Brewton. The forest is about 85 miles south of Montgomery, and about 90 miles east of Mobile.
