Gently sloping wooded ridge marked by a simple monument and picnic area identifying the highest elevation in Florida.
How to Get There
From Crestview, FL (25 mi): Take US-90 east to FL-85 north, then follow local county roads toward Lakewood Drive near Paxton, where a small roadside area marks the short walk to the summit.
Overview
Britton Hill is Florida's highest natural point — just 345 feet above sea level, and the lowest state high point in the country. A short walk from the parking area leads to a small monument and flag marking the summit, tucked into pine forest typical of the Florida Panhandle. There's no climb involved, which is exactly the appeal for highpointers checking states off the list, and a quiet, low-key stop for anyone else passing through.
