This is the cutest little town. While planning our trip to Destin, Lake DeFuniak kept popping up as a suggested place to visit... we were not disappointed. It was about a 40-minute drive from Destin and worth every minute of it

Great park to stretch your legs on a journey. We played for a minute on the jungle gym and enjoyed the view.
