St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife Reserve · St. Marks, Florida
Seventy thousand acres of salt marsh, pine flatwoods and tidal creek on the Panhandle's Big Bend, established in 1931 and one of the oldest refuges in the country. A whitewashed lighthouse of 1842 stands at the end of the road where the marsh meets Apalachee Bay, and every October the refuge fills with monarch butterflies staging before they cross the Gulf.
