Sopchoppy, FL

united states

Sopchoppy is a small town of about 500 people in Wakulla County, 20 miles south of Tallahassee via US Highway 319. The route passes through Crawfordville and continues toward the Gulf Coast, making it a gateway to both the Apalachicola National Forest and Florida's Big Bend coast. Long-distance visitors typically drive from Tallahassee after arriving via Interstate 10. The town's name comes from Muskogee words meaning "long" and "twisting," describing the winding Sopchoppy River.
