Wolf Branch Sink Waterfall

Video of Wolfbranch Creek waterfall, May 21, 2009 taken two days after heavy rainstorms
of more than 15 inches. Waterfall is the largest in Lake County, Florida and only appears
when there is sufficient rainfall within its watershed. All the water that you see goes down
into an active sinkhole and into the Floridan Aquifer – where our drinking water comes from!
