See The Tallest Waterfall In Florida At Falling Waters State Park

Falling Waters State Park in Florida features the state's tallest waterfall and offers hiking, birdwatching, and camping.

While Florida might not be the state you would visit in order to see the most waterfalls in one place, there are still falls that are worth checking out. For instance, one of our favorite waterfalls in Florida is pure magic at over 100-feet and happens to be located in a lush, vibrant, beautiful state park. Come with us and make an afternoon out of this visit to Falling Waters State Park in Chipley, which includes birdwatching, hiking, camping, and even a visit to the tallest waterfall in Florida.

Looking for a little bit of nature to pepper into your weekend Florida itinerary? A trip to Falling Waters State Park might just be the ticket.

Located a few miles south of Chipley, Falling Waters State Park clocks in at 171-acres of nature for all to enjoy.

Whether you’re hiking along the trails capturing the beauty of the mountain azaleas…

…or you made a reservation at the park’s campgrounds, you’ll be in for a real treat to get away from it all.

But perhaps the primary reason why visitors flock to this state park is to see the tallest waterfall in Florida—Falling Waters Falls.

Enjoy the vibrancy of the towering trees and fern-covered sinkholes as you make your way over to to the falls.

The actual waterfall cascades over 100-feet down into a deep, 20-foot wide cylindrical pit—which then flows as a small stream, dropping 73-feet to the bottom of the sinkhole.

What’s even more fascinating about this natural wonder is that nobody knows where the final destination of the water is.

Spend a weekend camping, hiking, and exploring nature, and make sure to check out this towering waterfall in Florida.
