Rediscover Our Nature
Life on the St. Johnโs River moves slowly, preserving history along itโs banks. The city of Palatka was once at the focal point of the river, but has since been left behind. Itโs time for everyone to rediscover our nature.
Some refer to Palatka as โthe Hidden Gem of the St. Johnโsโ due to our unique history and our Southern small-town charm. This city is the perfect getaway from the busy grind of everyday life, while never being too far away from the major attractions of big city life. The ecotourism of Palatka is second to none while remaining centrally located between Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona, Gainesville, and Orlando.
Come and visit our historic riverfront while enjoying the beautiful murals and buildings on the historic registry. Get out and enjoy the fresh air on the river, in the stunning Ravine Gardens State Park, and on our beautiful biking and hiking trails. Speaking of enjoying the fresh air, skydive Palatka is nationally recognized as one of the best skydiving experiences in the United States.
Whatever you are looking for in a city, we here in Palatka know you will find it here because being at the intersection of everywhere and nowhere is simply our nature.
