Are you familiar with that popular TLC tune advising us not to go chasing waterfalls? It’s a catchy tune, but it’s just plain terrible advice. My advice is to chase down every last waterfall.

Although Florida is not known to have the typical terrain that creates natural waterfalls, it is home to a several cascading falls. Check out the following locations to get your waterfall fix in the sunshine state.

~ Ormond Memorial Gardens, Ormond Beach

This small botanical garden is located near the intersection of Granada Boulevard and A1A in Ormond Beach. The best part of the Ormond Memorial Gardens, besides the waterfall, is that it is free to enter. The garden shares grounds with an art museum and is a popular spot for photoshoots among locals due to it’s beauty. Although it’s manmade and not in Bali, the photos could fool you.

~ Rainbow Springs, Dunnellon

Rainbow Springs is a former zoo/amusement park and is home to several manmade waterfalls. Admission is only two dollars per person and after enjoying the ‘waterfall walk’, as I like to call it, you can jump in the refreshing blue spring or paddle out to Rainbow River.

~ Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens, Williston

This enormous botanical garden has several waterfalls scattered throughout the grounds, some smaller and some larger. I love wandering through this whimsical garden wonderland. I previously shared more about Cedar Lakes in this post.

~ Falling Waters, Chipley

Located inside Falling Waters State Park, this 73- foot waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Florida and is actually a sink hole. The waterfall’s flow was considered to be low on the day we went, but it is frequently fully flowing. We visited Falling Waters when we explored the panhandle. Check out this post for more recommendations in the area.

~ Falling Creek Falls, Lake City

This charming 10-footwaterfall looks like it’s in the mountains, but it’s actually located off a short path in a public park. Please note that we did have to climb down to get these photos. Check out this post for more recommendations in the area.

~ Steinhatchee Falls, Taylor County

Formed by tannic waters carving their way through limestone, Steinhatchee Falls is the widest waterfall in Florida. I personally have not visited this location, but it’s on my list! This photo was graciously provided for use in this post by Kevin Giese who also allowed me to edit it! Thanks Kevin! Let me know if you’ve been here.

~ Green Springs, Deltona

This ‘waterfall’ is more like a downward flowing creek, but I prefer to view it as a baby waterfall. You can find it hidden off a trail at Green Springs. It is not well marked but located to the left of the playground from the main entrance. Just keep an ear out for the sound of the cascading water to guide your way.

~Bull’s Bay Preserve

Believe it or not, located in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Jacksonville, is a small preserve. The preserve has about a mile worth of biking and hiking paths around a lake, a small bridge, and a waterfall! This is the perfect spot to bring the family for a quick easy hike with a secret hidden natural Florida Waterfall.
