During our planning for the ferry flight, Andrew and I picked a few spots along the return route that we wanted to see. Today we stopped at Falling Waters State Park in Chipley, Florida.
We started the day early by eating a large breakfast at the Quality Inn buffet, then drove down to the park. We were the first guests to arrive, and the ranger let us in for nothing. We were all excited to see Florida's tallest waterfall.
We parked at the end of the road and began our hike down the paved trail toward the falls. The trail split and became a boardwalk, taking us past huge sinkholes on both sides of the trail. I was concerned that we might get swallowed up by the next collapse!
The falls were about what we expected. The height of the falls is actually measured down into a deep sinkhole. After seeing the falls, we continued following the boardwalk and enjoyed the nice, relaxing walk in the woods, where only the sound of the falls, bugs, and woodpeckers disturbed the peaceful silence.
The falls can be seen in the photos below.
