Falling Waters has historical ties to an early oil drilling venture in Florida’s panhandle. In the early 1900s, a drill site within the park failed to produce commercial oil, leaving behind an abandoned well. The area remains an interesting stop along the hiking trail.

Early spring and after heavy rains ensure the waterfall has a strong flow.

Sturdy walking shoes for trails, insect repellent, and a camera for capturing sinkhole formations.
