This place honestly feels a little unreal for Florida — a 73-foot waterfall plunging straight into a sinkhole, with no one quite sure where the water ends up. It’s the tallest waterfall in the state, and when it’s flowing, it’s impressive.
The park’s small and easy to explore. A short paved path takes you to the overlook, and there are stairs if you want to get closer. Just know that timing matters — the waterfall is seasonal, so the best time to go is after a good rain. If it’s been dry, it might be more of a trickle. Calling ahead can save you the trip.
Here's what you should know before going:
There’s a small entrance fee per vehicle
Restrooms, picnic tables, and a small campground on site
No swimming here — it’s all about walking, viewing, and exploring
Plan on spending about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours unless you’re hanging around for a picnic
It’s a quick, unique stop — perfect if you’re nearby and want something a little different than the usual Florida beach day.
