Steinhatchee is located in
Taylor County west of
Gainesville at the junction of Hwy 51 and Hwy 361 between
Perry and
Cross City, on the banks of the Steinhatchee River over looking the
Gulf of Mexico.
The city of Steinhatchee is a complacent fishing community which has sustained its pristine natural surroundings for over a century. Renowned for its surplus of trout and redfish, the Steinhatchee River's uncongested waters challenge the most skilled anglers. The river also has a deep water port adequate for larger vessels and off-shore fishing excursions.
