Sand Mountain, Apalachicola River | WFSU EcoAdventures

Sand Mountain is a sand spoil created when the Army Corps of Engineers dredged the Apalachicola River in order to create a deeper, faster channel for barges to travel. While barges rarely bring goods down the Apalachicola, dredging and other modifications have left a mark on the river system. Sand Mountain, while a symbol of this degradation, is a popular spot to climb and grab a view of the river just south of Wewahitchka.
