Steinhatchee Falls

Steinhatchee , FL

The Steinhatchee Tract is an area of 1,766 acres in Taylor County along and to the west of the Steinhatchee River, where a secret waterfall hides. The area is owned by the Suwannee River Water Management District.

The Steinhatchee River flows 35 miles from Mallory Swamp in Lafayette County, through Taylor and Dixie counties to the Gulf of Mexico. Just north of the town of Tennille, at the south portion of the Steinhatchee Springs WMA, the river goes underground and re-emerges about a half mile further south. The land area where the river comes back out of the ground is referred to as the Steinhatchee Rise.
