Aerial Lake City Florida
You will not find many waterfalls in Florida. I discovered Falling Creek Falls early one morning near Lake City. Take a quick detour from I-10 to see a 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 a short boardwalk trail offers easy access to this scenic view.
Who knew Florida had waterfalls? You can’t tell from the picture but it’s actually about 10ft high.

Very clean. The "king" bed was more like an oversized queen. Front desk staff, Jaz, was adorable.
