Manager's Message

Cooler weather has arrived and Falling Waters State Park continues to be a destination point for nature lovers from around the United States. If you are in search of a place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors, this is the place for you. Come stroll along one of the park's scenic trails, reminisce with friends as you camp in one of Florida's highest elevated campgrounds, or plan a quiet picnic lunch under one of our covered pavilions. The staff and volunteers at Falling Waters strive to make your visit a pleasant one.
The waterfall is fed by a series of seepage springs which are completely dependent on seasonal rains. Under drought conditions, there will be very little water flowing over the falls. However, the geological features of this park are still quite spectacular. If you are specifically interested in seeing the waterfall, you may contact our office at 850-638-6130 prior to your visit to determine if the falls are flowing.

Welcome to Falling Waters State Park

Huge trees and fern-covered sinkholes line Sink Hole Trail, the boardwalk that leads visitors to Florida's highest waterfall. Falling Waters Sink is a 100-foot deep, 20-foot wide cylindrical pit into which flows a small stream that drops 73 feet to the bottom of the sink. The water's final destination remains unknown. Only a few miles south of I-10, the park provides travelers with a quiet, serene stop on their journey. Visitors can see beautiful native and migrating butterflies in the butterfly garden, take a dip in the lake, or have a family picnic. Hikers can experience the verdant, gently sloping landscape of North Florida. Park rangers host interpretive programs in the amphitheater. Full-facility campsites nestled in a shady pine forest provide the perfect excuse for an overnight stay at Falling Waters. Located three miles south of Chipley, off State Road 77A.
