About Chipley

Located in the Florida Panhandle about an hour north of Panama City, Chipley serves as the quiet, welcoming seat of Washington County. With a population of around 3,700, this historic railroad town offers a relaxed rural pace within easy reach of the Gulf Coast. Nature lovers will appreciate having Falling Waters State Park just down the road, where shaded boardwalks lead to Florida's highest waterfall, a 73-foot cascade into a limestone sinkhole.
