Nashville TN to Topsail Hill Preserve SP in FL

Hey all, We are booked for 2nd week of June at Topsail in FL...we can't wait!

Trying to pinpoint my last leg of the journey there. Wanted input on routes. Here are my options:

1. Exit 168 from I-65 in Montgomery, taking 331 South. This option lets me avoid the tolls in Destin, and its a 2 lane road which seems decent.

2. Exit 114 from I-65 at Georgiana, taking various 2 lanes, going thru Destin and the Mid Bay Toll Bridge.

3. There are others, but the two above are what I'm looking at.

Anyone take the 331 from Montgomery to Topsail? Decent road? Plenty of gas stops that are "easy" to get in/out of? Or is Georgiana route preferred? Or another?

Thanks for the feedback.

  • Thanks all! I look forward to Rt 331...I suspected it would be a decent route. Thanks for the input.
  • Just made that trip last year. Stopped in Nashville Tennessee to meet up with son and family going down with us and ur first choice is how we went. Very good route!
  • You need to end up on 331 for sure. But the fastest way is to take exit 114 AL106 E to to Al55 S, take this through Andalusia all the way to Florala. There you can pick up US331 S. We have taken this route dozens of times.
  • I agree with above I like that 331 comes out just about a few miles from TopSail. You get to miss all the traffic coming the other way. Roads are great and I agree fill up when leaving Montgomery to be safe but there are stations along the way but spread out so to be safe we always fuel up on 331 just south of town. You will have a blast
  • I would take 331. Fuel up in Montgomery. There is a gas station in Freeport. You can look it up on www.googlemaps.com earth view and zoom in to see the access and exit.
