The Apalachicola River is a river, approximately 112 mi (180 km) long in the U.S. state Florida. The river's large watershed, known as the ACF River Basin for short, drains an area of approximately 19,500 sq mi into the Gulf of Mexico. The distance to its farthest headstream in northwest Georgia is approximately 500 mi . Its name comes from the Apalachicola tribe, which used to live along the river.It is formed on the state line between Florida and Georgia, near the town of Chattahoochee, Florida, approximately 60 mi northeast of Panama City, by the confluence of the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers. The actual confluence is submerged in the Lake Seminole reservoir formed by the Jim Woodruff Dam. It flows generally south through the forests of the Florida Panhandle, past Bristol. In northern Gulf County, it receives the Chipola River from the west. It flows into Apalachicola Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, at Apalachicola. The lower 30 mi of the river is surrounded by extensive swamps and wetlands except at the coast. The channel of the river is being dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide navigation due to a lawsuit with Florida.

In northern Gulf County, it receives the Chipola River from the west. It flows into Apalachicola Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, at Apalachicola. The lower 30 mi of the river is surrounded by extensive swamps and wetlands except at the coast. The channel of the river is being dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide navigation due to a lawsuit with Florida. Except for the area around its mouth, the river provides the boundary between the Eastern and Central time zones in the United States. The Apalachicola River is famous for its tupelo honey, a high quality Monofloral honey, which is produced wherever the Tupelo trees bloom in the southeastern United States, but the purest and most expensive version is produced mainly in this basin and, to a lesser extent, in other panhandle river basins. In a good harvest year, the value of the tupelo honey crop produced by a group of specialized Florida beekeepers approaches US$1,000,000. During Florida's British colonial period the river formed the boundary between East Florida and West Florida. (en)
  • Der Apalachicola [æpəlætʃɪˈkoʊlə] ist ein 180 km langer Fluss im Norden des US-Bundesstaates Florida. Er entsteht bei der Stadt Chattahoochee am Zusammenfluss von Chattahoochee River und Flint River und fließt in südliche Richtung in den Golf von Mexiko. Der Apalachicola fließt durch den zentralen Landzipfel von Florida, wo er eine natürliche Grenze zwischen den westlichen und östlichen Verwaltungsbezirken bildet. Er passiert dabei den westlichen Teil des Apalachicola-Nationalforsts und auf den letzten 50 km überwiegend Feucht- und Sumpfgebiete, in denen er sich mit dem Chipola vereinigt und schließlich bei der gleichnamigen Stadt in die Apalachicola-Bucht fließt. Zudem dient er als Grenzfluss der beiden in Florida geltenden Zeitzonen. Im Staatsgebiet östlich seines Ufers gilt die Eastern Standard Time, während die Zeitmessung des westlichen Landesteils nach Central Standard Time (CST) erfolgt. (de)
