    Default Falling Waters State Park

    I was out doing the tourist thing today. We went to Falling Waters State Park near Chipley. There are numerous sinkholes and I was wondering if anyone has been down them. Due to the elevation I assume the aquifer is way down and they would be dry caves for a good ways down. I am just curious as to what is there.

    Actually, we Shirleys will be moving to south Alabama, just over the state line and only 90 minutes from JB! Welcoming party may commence any time after 3/31! SOMEBODY's gonna need a JB pass SOON!

    And a boat and and and.... On a brighter note we will dance, we will sing, we will shoot guns and maybe even dive one day! Now what about Falling Waters? Can we dive this cave?

    It is not open to the public for diving. The elevation of the park is over 300'. The sink holes are rock faced and look over 100' deep. You can't even see the bottom of most of them from the board walks. To access them would require repelling. I would guess there would be dry cave just to get to the aquifer. They would definitely be worse than getting into Ebro Blue.
