Putnam County

Putnam County's identity is tied to the St. Johns River, which runs through Palatka, the county seat long billed as the Bass Capital of the World for the tournament fishing along its riverfront. Waterfront dining is a way of life here — dockside seafood spots let boats idle right up for fresh catch, while downtown Palatka's Florida Azalea Festival each spring draws visitors to the historic riverfront district. Crescent City, on Crescent Lake, adds its own small-town fish-camp charm to the county's rural, river-and-lake-driven food scene.
