The last truly rural corner of Seminole County is anchored by the small community of Geneva, which the St. Johns River loops around on its ambling course north. This is the place to come visit for an authentic hometown Fourth of July Parade each year. Surrounding Geneva are many natural lands and parks in the St. Johns River floodplain.
