Chattahoochee, Florida has US Hwy 90 running through it as one of the main streets. Chattahoochee has some interesting borders; the Apalachicola River makes one borders, a small corner of man-made Lake Seminole makes a small boarder and the state of Georgia creates another border.
On February 21, we rode up to Chattahoochee from Flat Creek Family Campground and RV Park. It is the closest town to the campground.
We decided to get lunch at the WBās Sports Bar & Grill. Letās just say we wouldnāt go back and leave it at that.
After eating, we walked around downtown a little.
After walking around the small downtown and the park, we headed back to the motorcycle. I wanted to check out Angus Gholson Nature Park, which was a short way down the side street next to the restaurant.
The trailhead sign had walking sticks cut at various lengths leaning up against the sign. I wish I had taken a picture of that, as I really like how friendly that felt.
I wanted to see the Woodwuff Dam, so we rode across the Apalachicola River on the Chattahoochee Bridge on US Hwy 90. I got a nice view of the dam and lake as we rode across the bridge.
As we started the curve into the main part of the bridge, the road sign warned, āWarning Blinding Lightā. I have never seen such a warning before and decided it must mean in the evening, the sunlight must blind drivers as they come around the curve.
The Woodwuff dam has an overlook on a limestone cliff and another at the bottom of cliff next to Seminole Lake.
After viewing the dam, we decided to stop at the Chattahoochee Park next to the Apalachicola River.
There was an old bridge that we hoped to walk on. Unfortunately, it was closed off. The park has a nice boat ramp (flooded at the time we were there) and a new looking playground. I saw a boardwalk through the trees and hoped to walk on it, but it was blocked off.
That felt like enough exploring for the day, so we rode back to the RV.

So much to see in such a small town!

They have a lot of natural parks. There is another park I hope to visit before we leave next week.

I like that they care enough to have those murals. And playground equipment old enough to be dangerous!! I thought teeter-totters had been legislated out of existence! What a fun day, although I’m sorry lunch seems to have been a bust. (I now measure fried oysters by the ones I had with you in Alabama last year…)

Bruce and I were surprised that they still had teeter-totters. I also thought they had been deemed unsafe at any bump! The fried oysters we had in Alabama were the best I have ever had! I have had great fried oysters before, but those were outstanding. We hoped to stop back by Robertsdale for a couple of night and go back to get some more fried oysters. Sadly, there were no open spots in any of the campgrounds that would fit us.

Well, you have to eat lunch somewhere – stop to eat and keep going? Although it’s easier to park my rig than yours. Those oysters would be worth it! I’m actually considering doing that, as I head through going east. I’m glad I noted the name of the restaurant in my log.

Maybe? I havenāt seen a good spot to park our 63 foot long rig.

I would call the town of Robertsdale, and tell them you want to patronize a local business, and where can you park? They probably wouldābend over backwards to make it possible!
