About

Falling Waters State Park is situated in the Florida Panhandle, near Chipley. The park is named for its 73-foot waterfall, the tallest in Florida, which flows into a deep sinkhole. This feature, along with the park's pine forests and diverse ecosystems, offers a distinctive experience for nature enthusiasts. The park also includes other natural elements such as sinkholes, wetlands, and various trails that meander through its landscapes. Visitors can engage in outdoor activities such as hiking, picnicking, and birdwatching. The park provides designated parking areas and several picnic sites with tables and grills. The mild climate allows for year-round access, though checking the weather prior to your visit is advisable. While water activities are limited, as there are no boating facilities, the trails offer plenty of opportunities for exploration. Please confirm hours, fees, and closures on the official state site before your visit.
