US State Highpointing: Britton Hill, highest point in Florida.

At 345 feet above sea level, Britton Hill is Florida's highest natural point – and the lowest state highpoint in the United States. Buildings in some urban areas of the state are higher. There are landfills in Florida taller. Yeah, it's kind of a running joke among highpointers across the country, but they still travel to honor the humble elevation. It sets less than 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico just below the Alabama state line. Although it is in Florida, it is in Central time zone, because it is so far west in the panhandle. If you drove straight north up the country, you would be in Indiana. It is inside Lakewood Park and has picnic tables, some basic facilities, and short hiking trails through the nearby woods, but the real attraction is at the hill’s summit. Named after the lumber mill baron who developed the area, William Henry Britton, the record setting peak is marked by a stone marker in the middle of a beat-up rotunda.
