About the Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park
Located at 4732 Millhopper Road in Gainesville, Florida, Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park is a must-visit tourist attraction. For just $4 per vehicle (up to eight visitors) or $2 for pedestrians and bicyclists, you can explore this National Natural Landmark that has been captivating visitors since the 1880s.
In the heart of North Florida's sandy terrain and pine forests, you will find a unique bowl-shaped cavity that is 120 feet deep and leads down to a miniature rainforest. Small streams flow down the steep limestone walls of the sinkhole, disappearing into crevices in the ground. Despite dry summers, lush vegetation thrives in the shade of the walls.
Researchers have made significant discoveries about Florida's natural history by studying fossil shark teeth, marine shells, and the fossilized remains of extinct land animals found in the sink. So come and immerse yourself in the wonders of Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park.

Reviews of Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park
"Great exercise, paths and steps all in great condition. Educational and informative. A half - mile trail around the sinkhole, and many landings on the steps down to the sinkhole in case people need to rest."
"Visited in mid-January and had some drizzle but still pleasant. Really enjoyed seeing it from the top without any interfering foliage. Didn't walk but halfway down as the new steps were a little slippery. Some views were remarkable with the moss covered rocks and running water through the stream. Well worth stopping to visit."
"The trail is on the smaller side if you skip the stairs. There are quite a few stairs if you go down to the water, but it is manageable. Unfortunately the water was a very low point and the view wasn't the best. It's still a great spot to enjoy the marvels of nature."
"Great little park to spend an hour or so. There is a small loop trail and steps down to the sink hole. As you go down (or up) the steps, you can read more about the history of the land. It was really quiet and peaceful on the day I visited (weekday in mid-December). There is a single stall restroom by the visitor center area."
"20231205 Very small park. The walk down to the sinkhole and the nature trail around the park is about 0.92 miles from the parking lot. The steps down to the sinkhole and up is good workout. Not too difficult. The sinkhole was dried up and there were 4 little tiny waterfalls when I visited. I bet it is much prettier when the sinkhole is filled."
