Falling Creek Falls
Written by Sandra Friend
See one of Florida's fabulous but little known waterfalls on a short walk just north of Lake City.
Take a quick detour from I-10 to see a spectacular root-beer-colored cascade, which plummets more than 10 feet over a deep lip of limestone and flows away over limestone boulders at the bottom of a ravine. 
Falling Creek Falls was the site of the first settlement in this area, and this short accessible boardwalk trail offers easy access to the scenic view. A new loop trail extends your walk in the woods past rapids in the creek. Guidebooks
