Devil's Millhopper State Geological Site
PARK
pedestrian/car $2/4; 9am-5pm Wed-Sun)
As the name indicates, this is not your average park. The site centers on a 120ft-deep,
500ft-wide funnel-shaped rainforest which you enter by descending a 232-step wooden
staircase. Water trickles down the slopes from the surrounding springs; some of it flows in-
to a natural drain and ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico. Rangers lead tours every Saturday
at 10am. The park is about 20 minutes northwest of downtown by car.
