Description
A big waterfall (by Florida standards).
Confessing no firsthand knowledge of this site, but looking at topo maps, it appears:
1) the overall gradient may be understated -- it looks like it may be more like 50FPM ...
2) However, it appears fairly spread out, except possibly the final ten feet (+/-) of drop, as Turket Creek drops into the Alapahoochee.
3) The description for the Alapahoochee includes mention of this, calling it a _'12 foot waterfall into a beautiful grotto'_.
4) I wouldn't get too excited about this, as the drainage area is quite small (a few square miles). Thus, it will run only during/immediately after heavy rains (which admittedly can happen with regularity here).
That said, you'd better be there _early on, while its pouring_ \-\- one hour or so later and you've probably missed it. (This assessment would seem further supported by the comment below.) The earlier you can hit this (during/immediately after the rain), the taller it is likely to be; Smaller creeks like this will run 'early' in a rain event, whereas a larger river will take (at least slightly) longer to come up. (As the Alapahoochee comes up, it decreases the height of the drop from the possibly 12' down to 2' or possibly nothing!)
