About this trail
This short out-and-back trail descends into Florida's most dramatic natural sinkhole, offering a unique geological experience in the heart of Alachua County. The trail winds down wooden stairs and natural pathways to the 120-foot-deep millhopper, where lush vegetation and a small stream create a cool, shaded microclimate. Devil's Millhopper showcases the karst geology that defines north-central Florida, making it an excellent destination for geology enthusiasts and casual hikers alike.
