Hidden Waters Preserve Ravine Falls
Small seepage waterfalls tumble down a deeply eroded ravine that funnels water into the Eichelberger Sink and Lake Alfred at Hidden Waters Preserve near Eustis. The Ravine Trail is a roughly 0.4-mile loop with about 40 ft of elevation change; the cascades flow during the rainy season.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Lake County Water Authority (Hidden Waters Preserve) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
