One trueism about Florida waterfalls is that they’ll always look more spectacular after a rainfall. All significant natural cascades in Florida are in the northern part of the state and the Panhandle, and most are entirely dependent on a high water table or recent runoff. The Suwannee River’s tributaries provide some scenic falls, including the easily-accessible Falling Creek Falls, barely a mile from Interstate 10 at US 41, north of Lake City.

I’m pleased to report that recent upgrades by the Suwannee River Water Management District include an expanded parking area, playground, restrooms, and a new loop trail that you should take on your way back from the falls to do a little exploring upstream. It adds just enough to the hike to round out the round-trip to about 3/4 of a mile. With new photos and audio, I’ll be updating that little YouTube video of the falls at some point!
