About

Devil's Millhopper is a unique geological site that offers a fascinating look at a sinkhole ecosystem. Visitors enjoy the stairs and the educational displays. However, frequent closures of the boardwalk and stairs for repairs have been a major source of disappointment for many. When open, it is a highly recommended, quick nature stop.
