Downtown Palatka FL - In downtown Palatka, you’ll experience Old Florida charm, celebrate our heritage and enjoy many festivals and events. City and state officials have developed a revitalization plan and are currently working to restore historic downtown riverfront areas and replace the aging Frank George Apartments public housing high rise with new and attractive businesses. Take a tour of the area’s historic homes and churches built in the 1800's...hike or bike one of our many trails, visiting the birding sites along the Great Florida Birding Trail...or rent a houseboat and drift along the St. Johns River. 

The Palatka Mural Tour features more than 25 artistic renderings – which illustrates the historical, cultural and natural riches of Palatka and Putnam County.
