Devil's Millhopper Sinkhole Waterfalls
Seasonal trickling waterfalls cascade down the limestone walls of a 120-foot-deep, 500-foot-wide sinkhole at Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park near Gainesville. A 132-step boardwalk descends to the bottom on a short nature-trail loop of about 0.8 miles; the falls are strongest after heavy rain.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Florida State Parks (Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
