Area Guide
Experience the small-town lifestyle of Florida’s Big Bend
Madison is a very small city of around 3,000 people positioned halfway between Tallahassee and Lake City. Live oaks dripping with Spanish moss intermingle with palm trees everywhere you look, perfectly reflecting the city’s location between the panhandle and the peninsula. The iconic Madison County courthouse anchors the small Downtown district, surrounded by popular local hangouts like Four Freedoms Park and Norris Café.
The relatively secluded location allows you to easily get out and explore the region’s unspoiled natural surroundings, with the Aucilla River providing terrific opportunities for canoeing and Cherry Lake perfect for boating and fishing.
