Devil's
Millhopper
State Geological Site
This huge
sinkhole was formed when an underground cavern roof collapsed, creating a bowl-shaped
cavity 120 feet deep. Small streams tumble down the steep slopes of the sink,
disappearing through crevices at the bottom. The lush growth of plants and many
of the animals of the park are similar to those of the Appalachian Mountains
region. The sinkhole may be explored from the boardwalks and stairways or from
the 4-foot wide nature trail that follows the rim.
