Welaka

Welaka sits at the eastern edge of Putnam County where the St. Johns River widens into Little Lake George. A few hundred people live here year-round, and the town has been a fishing destination since the 1890s — long enough that the lodges, marinas, and bait shops along the river are run by the third or fourth generation of the same families.

Welaka sits at the eastern edge of Putnam County where the St. Johns River widens into Little Lake George. A few hundred people live here year-round, and the town has been a fishing destination since the 1890s — long enough that the lodges, marinas, and bait shops along the river are run by the third or fourth generation of the same families.

There's a downtown park with a public boat ramp, a state forest with hiking trails, a national fish hatchery you can tour for free, and one of the best stretches of largemouth bass water in the Southeast. If you've never been, plan a slow weekend — one day on the water, one day eating your way through the family-run kitchens in town.
