WELCOME TO SNEADS
Nestled in the Florida Panhandle and located on the southeast shore of Lake Seminole, Sneads has the perfect small-town charm. It may be small in size (approximately 4 ½ square miles), but Sneads has a great deal to offer. The locals have long understood and appreciated this rural area of rich outdoor recreation. Uniquely situated on the southern shore of Lake Seminole and near the Apalachicola River. Sneads offers unparalleled outdoor activities such as freshwater fishing boating and hunting. Known mostly as an agrarian region, many farms and ponds dot the landscape among vast forest of tall pines and oaks. As the Easterly most town in Jackson County, Sneads’ population 1900 finds itself neighbors to Grand Ridge to the west and Chattahoochee (Gadsden County) to the east just across the Apalachicola River. We are located 20 miles east of Marianna, 40 miles west of Tallahassee and about 70 miles north of Panama City.
