Falling Waters State Park

Yes! Falling Waters is Florida’s tallest and only significant waterfall. A small stream drops 73 feet into a 100-foot-deep cylindrical sinkhole. The water then disappears into an underground cave system—and nobody knows exactly where it goes! This geological wonder is unique in flat Florida.

Not always! The waterfall’s flow is entirely dependent on recent rainfall. After heavy rains, the falls are spectacular. During dry periods, the flow can be minimal or even completely dry. Check conditions before visiting if seeing the waterfall is your main goal.

The park reconfigured its trails and boardwalks in 2024. The former loop around the sinkholes no longer exists. Instead, the Sinkhole Trail now branches to new overlooks with upgraded observation decks and more accessible pathways. All three trails together make about 2.5 miles of hiking.

Some sites can accommodate RVs up to 45 feet, with 50 amp electric hookups available. Sites include electricity, fresh water, picnic tables, grills, and a clothesline. The campground sits on one of Florida’s highest hills at 324 feet elevation in a shady pine forest.

Yes! Leashed pets are welcome throughout the park, except on the boardwalks to the sinkhole and waterfall overlooks. This ensures safety on the elevated walkways while still allowing pets to enjoy most of the park.
