About Falling Waters State Park

A 73-foot waterfall drops into a sinkhole here, the tallest in Florida, giving the park its name. The protected grounds span 171 acres in northwestern Florida. Beyond the waterfall itself, the site preserves the surrounding sinkhole terrain that makes the drop possible.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
