362.82 miles of Interstate serving the Panhandle and northeastern Florida. Interstate 10 serves the cities of Pensacola, Tallahassee, Lake City, and Jacksonville, before terminating at Interstate 95.

The guides for Interstate 10 in Florida are partitioned into five pages:

Interstate 10 East
Interstate 10 travels 12 miles from Madison County 255 to junction U.S. 90 in northern Suwannee County. The interchange represents the fourth between Interstate 10 and the federal highway between Pensacola and Live Oak. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Like the state of California, the state of Florida utilizes agricultural inspection stations along its Interstate highways. One such station resides along Interstate 10 in eastern Madison County. All commercial trucks, rented trucks, and other delivery vehicles must enter the facility. Passenger cars however are not required to stop like they are in California. Photos taken 07/22/04.
U.S. 90 travels 17 miles east from Lee and junction Madison County 255 to Interstate 10 at Exit 275. Despite the track, Exit 275 guide signs indicate Lee as a second control point for the federal highway. U.S. 90 west passes through Falmouth and Ellaville within seven miles of the freeway otherwise. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Interstate 10 eastbound at the Exit 275 ramp departure onto U.S. 90. U.S. 90 parallels a railroad line closely on the 24 mile drive between Lee and Live Oak (pop. 6,480). The alignment necessitates a folded-diamond interchange with Interstate 10 at Exit 275. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Interstate 10 curves around the U.S. 90 corridor between Exit 275 and junction U.S. 129 at Exit 283. U.S. 129 intersects the freeway two miles north of Live Oak. Photo taken 07/22/04.

U.S. 129 enters the state of Florida from Statenville, Georgia 15 miles to the north of Jasper (pop. 1,780) and 28 miles north of Interstate 10. U.S. 129 interchanges with Interstate 75 eight miles to the north and shares a three-mile overlap with U.S. 41 through Jasper. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Interstate 10 passes over a railroad line ahead of the Exit 283 diamond interchange with U.S. 129. U.S. 129 widens to four lanes from the junction southward into Live Oak. From Live Oak, the federal highway continues south 25 miles to Branford (pop. 695) and 63 miles to its southern terminus at Chiefland (pop. 1,993) and junction U.S. 19 & 98. Photo taken 07/22/04.
The last Suwannee County exit of Interstate 10 eastbound joins the freeway with Suwannee County 137 near the community of Wellborn. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Suwannee County 137 travels four miles north from U.S. 90 and Wellborn to a folded-diamond interchange with Interstate 10. The county highway continues another 2.5 miles north to Suwannee County 136 at Pouchers Corner. Photo taken 07/22/04.

One-mile guide sign for the Exit 296A/B directional cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 75. Interstate 75 constitutes a six-lane corridor between the Florida's Turnpike at Wildwood northward to Valdosta, Georgia. Much of the freeway within the Peach State is also a six-lane affair as Interstate 75 provides the main route between south Georgia, Macon, Atlanta, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Photo taken 07/22/04.
Exit 296A leaves Interstate 10 eastbound for Interstate 75 south to Gainesville (pop. 95,447), Ocala (pop. 45,943), and Tampa (pop. 303,447).

The longest exit-less stretch of Interstate 10 in North Florida commences east of U.S. 441 (Exit 303). The 21-mile stretch traverses Osceola National Forest between Lake City and Sanderson. In fact the exit less portion of Interstate 10 in northeast Florida is the longest east of Hudspeth County in west Texas (22 miles). Photo taken 07/22/04.
Interstate 10 crosses into Baker County midway through the Osceola National Forest. The freeway emerges from the federal land ahead of its fifth Florida interchange with U.S. 90 (Exit 324). U.S. 90 parallels Interstate 10 to the south between Lake City and Watertown through Olustee to Exit 324. Photo taken 07/22/04.
The CSX Railroad passes underneath Interstate 10 alongside U.S. 90 at Exit 324. To accommodate the tracks, a folded-diamond interchange facilitates the movements between the two highways. U.S. 90 continues north of Interstate 10 two miles into Sanderson. Photo taken 07/22/04.
