A short drive from Jacksonville, Devil's Millhopper is a 120-foot deep sinkhole similar in appearance to the hopper of a mill. A geological anomaly and National Park Service designated natural landmark, the site was acquired by the state in 1974. It includes a network of trails, boardwalks and an observation deck to allow visitors to see the sink up close without causing soil erosion.

Way back when the mammoths left their bones at Devil's Millhopper, the junior high science club I was in made a field trip there. As I (hazily) recall, there wasn't much infrastructure there at the time (mid-1960s).

It looks like they've finished repairs on the bridge that is part of the trail loop, so that's a nice plus since my last visit last year.

Such a cool place to visit. It's a must stop on any day trips I take to Gainesville.
