Falling Creek Falls, Florida, United States

Pleasant photo op
Being in the area for a long weekend for the races at a nearby speedway, I looked for things to do during the day. The park was easy enough to find. There’s and elevated wood walkway (sorta like a boardwalk), perhaps a 1/8-1/4 mile long, that will bring you right to the falls. I mean, 10 minutes taking pictures there is more than enough, but I can see how it’s a relaxing respite for the local denizens.

Lovely (but short) stroll
This is a wonderful place to visit. We drove 1.5 hours from Jacksonville, and although the trail was very short, we enjoyed our walk. The restrooms were sparking clean, and the playground was in good repair. The falls themselves were picturesque. The only complaint I have was that so many people have vandalized the boardwalk, but that's obviously not the park's fault. As others have stated, make sure you bring some bug spray - some of those mosquitoes are the size of Texas!

Relaxing stroll
We had some time to kill after arriving at our hotel so we checked up on some local sights. This one sounded interesting and was only 15 minutes away. We drove there and parked. We walked the boardwalk through the marsh, following the signs that said FALLS. We got to an overlook, saw water gently flowing by but no falls. We went to the end of the boardwalk, still no falls. Reversing our walk, we took the other fork on the boardwalk and got closer to the creek. There were some rapids there but again, no falls. Apparently, the water has to be below a certain level to expose the falls. Because of resent rains, the creek must have been running too high. Despite not seeing any water falls, the walk was a pleasant one and the half hour or so we spent there was restful. There are a couple of pavilions with tables if someone wished to stay for a picnic. 2-11-2021
