The Flint River and Chattahoochee River combine to form Lake Seminole above the Jim Woodruff Dam. Below the dam, the waters become the mighty Apalachicola River, which flows untamed until it pours into Apalachicola Bay, and eventually, the Gulf of Mexico. The name of the park is a tribute to these three rivers.
Construction of the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam began in 1947. After Lake Seminole was filled to the desired depth, Congress passed a special bill allowing certain property of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be designated as recreational areas and leased to the State of Florida. Three Rivers became a Florida state park in 1955.
Pine and hardwood forests dominate the 686 acres of uplands found at Three Rivers State Park. These woods of rolling hills and steep ravines
are different from the natural communities found in south and central Florida parks.
Thirty (30) family campsites are for tent and RV camping. A fully furnished, air-conditioned cabin is also available.
