Went to see the waterfall with some of our church family from North Bay SDA Church. We had a great day hiking, seeing the falls and the sinkhole, and enjoying being out in nature. It is a hidden gem in Northwest Florida. Beautiful place!

We went after some heavy rains so the waterfall was at a "moderate" level and looked pretty. The hike was easy down the paved sidewalks - upper level is also wheelchair accessible and stroller/toddler friendly. The short hike to the lower level involved some stairs but they were metal and easy to navigate. There was a great up close view of the waterfall into the sinkhole from the lower platform. (The other sinkhole trail area was closed due to damage.) There's also a picnic area (pavilion) and a playground. Bathrooms were good too. Go visit the tallest waterfall in Florida!

This park is beautiful. The site I was at, #7 was just perfect. Close enough to the bathhouse that was super clean and well maintained. I was able to take the dogs for nice long walks. I didn't explore the falls as I only had my RV as transportation and was unsure if there was turn around space. I will definitely go back. For sure!!

Stopped as I was driving through the area to see Florida's highest waterfall. It's not really tall but the water cascades way down into a sink hole. It's very neat. And not far at all to walk to. There are 3 viewing area (2 of the falls). The over look to the right, a sink hole to the left, and then the middle walk6eay leads to a close up look of the waterfall from a nice deck area (there are some stairs not many). The hardest part is walking back up the incline which isn't really that bad. It's a nominal fee to get into the Park but worth it to support the park and see the waterfall. There's bathrooms right there at the parking lot and a couple trails throughout, one goes to Turtle Lake. Worth the stop to check out if you have time. Thing to note is flow depends on the rain. Luckily it just rained and it was rated Moderate. They let you know at the gate so if there is little to no water you may want to come back when there is.

Falling Water State Park is aptly named, and thankfully the fun starts just a few steps from the parking lot. There’s a playground, a butterfly garden, and short trails leading to the main attractions: a natural waterfall and a collection of sinkholes that look like the earth just got tired and gave up in spots. Picnic tables near the parking area make it easy to host a kid’s birthday party, a casual lunch, or that “let’s eat outside and pretend we planned this” kind of outing. Separate men’s and women’s bathrooms sit right at the trailhead, along with a drinking fountain and a filtered water dispenser for the eco-conscious crowd. Unfortunately, during our visit, both were about as useful as a decorative cactus: nice to look at, but not providing any water. The waterfall itself is either a showstopper or a damp disappointment, depending entirely on recent rainfall. The upper observation platform is wheelchair accessible, while the lower one has railings and metal steps that grip your shoes like they don’t trust you. From either level, though, the sound of falling water is genuinely soothing (assuming there’s enough water to fall). The sinkholes are both boring and fascinating. On one hand, they’re just holes in the ground. On the other, some of the seven or eight scattered around are wide enough to swallow a house or deep enough to make you question your life choices if you drop your phone. The butterfly garden, also near the parking lot, clearly lost a fight with the recent deep freeze. Most of the plants were pruned back to survival mode, leaving the labels to do most of the storytelling about what should be there once the weather lives up to the Sunshine State. I’ll be keeping an eye on the forecast, waiting for the kind of rain that turns this place from “pleasant stroll” into “now that’s a waterfall!”
