Devil's Millhopper, Florida


The Devil's Millhopper is a large sinkhole situated in a quiet suburban area of Gainesville, Florida. It is a Florida State Park. It is about 120 feet deep and contains a miniature rain forest. The small streams along the sides of the sinkhole disappear into the limestone formation at the bottom. The sinkhole got its name from the hopper or container that feeds the grain into a stone grinding mill for grain. The boardwalk has 236 wooden steps.
