About this swimming hole
A huge karst window where the underground river briefly surfaces, Falmouth is one of the Suwannee basin's most dramatic springs. The water management district park is primitive - a picnic table, a trail, and astonishingly clear water. It's more a place to marvel and cool off than to set up for the day.
