Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

  • When we talk about waterfalls in Florida, it is important to remember that this state is one of the flattest in the United States.
  • Bearing that in mind, it is no surprise that there are very few natural waterfalls which could be considered impressive.
  • Exceptions to this rule include the waterfall at Falling Waters State Park, which is a very respectable 73 feet tall, and the Weeping Ridge Falls in the mountainous Torreya State Park at 25 feet high.
  • However, this does not mean that there are no interesting smaller waterfalls to seek out – due to the limestone landscape, Florida is home to many sinkholes which do have beautiful waterfalls to admire after rainfall.
  • In addition, there are a couple of very lovely man-made waterfalls dotted around to provide a soothing and cooling ambiance at the height of a hot Florida summer.
