Highest Point in Florida - Britton Hill

Florida has the lowest state highest point in the United States. It is the top of 345 ft (105m) Britton Hill in northern Florida not far from Alabama. The drive there from the east had lots of turns and went into Alabama briefly. It is located in Walton County's Lakewood Park. It's surrounded by forests and farms with the closest town being Paxton, Florida.

It was on top of a hill that was flat. The official marker is by the parking lot. There are pavilions, picnic tables and restrooms there so you could bring food and have a comfortable lunch on a state high point.
