It's called "Blue Spring," but there was a decidedly green tint to the water the day I stopped by for a visit.

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.

I had a view if the ocean from my room. When I arrived I was given an upgrade to ocean side! The staff was very friendly. The only complaint I have was the water pressure in the shower.
