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.
It lies in Alachua, Florida. The site is on public land managed by Florida State Parks (Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.8 miles round trip. The nearest town is Gainesville.
When to go: Summer rainy season (after heavy rain). Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
