Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park

The descent offers a different view of local geology and vegetation from the surrounding upland landscape. Interpretation helps connect the sinkhole's shape and exposed layers with the processes that formed it.

Check current boardwalk and stair access before arriving, since weather and maintenance can affect the descent. The route involves a substantial return climb, so consider your mobility and the conditions before starting down. Stay on designated structures and leave rocks, fossils, plants, and other natural features undisturbed.
