Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park Site # 8135
4732 Millhoppper Road, Gainesville, FL 32653 Alachua
4732 Millhoppper Road, Gainesville, FL 32653 Alachua
In the midst of north Florida's
sandy terrain and pine forests, a bowl-shaped cavity 120 feet deep leads down
to a miniature rain forest.
Small streams trickle down the steep slopes of the
limestone sinkhole, disappearing through crevices in the ground. Lush
vegetation thrives in the shade of the walls even in dry summers.
A significant
geological formation, Devil's Millhopper is a National Natural Landmark that
has been visited by the curious since the early 1880s. A wooden boardwalk/ stair system leads down to
the bottom of the sink.
