  1. A

    Devil’s Millhopper State Geological Site

    This geological site centers on a 120ft deep, 500ft wide funnel-shaped rainforest that’s entered by descending a 232-step wooden staircase. Water trickles down the slopes from the surrounding springs; some of it flows into a natural drain and ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico. Rangers lead tours every Saturday at 10am.
