Milton

Milton occupies a low river plain on the Blackwater River in the western Florida Panhandle. The county seat of Santa Rosa County developed as a lumber town, using the river’s connection to Pensacola Bay to move timber from the surrounding pine country. Downtown retains a historic commercial core, while the Imogene Theatre, opened in 1912, recalls the period when vaudeville and silent films brought audiences together. The Blackwater Heritage State Trail follows a former railroad corridor through town, adding a long-distance route for walkers and cyclists. Though the Gulf Coast is nearby, Milton has a distinctly inland river-town character. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Florida’s Panhandle.
