Dear unGov DeMentis, the highest point in the entire state of Florida is a “towering” 345 feet located in Walton County near the Alabama border. There’s a marker that makes it official. There is no “high ground” in the Big Bend which is wet lands and swamp. You need to drive hundreds of miles to be assured of power, water, sanitary facilities. Take a little time while flying around and learn something about the state.
