Devil's Millhopper State Geological Park is located on 53rd street, which is also known as "232" or Millhopper Rd., in Gainesville FL. As you drive into the park you can see that there is gravel road that leads to the ranger's residence in a nearby neighborhood. I also noticed a sign that proudly proclaimed Devil's Millhopper State Geological Park as being a National Gold Medal Winner from the Florida State Parks organization. | ||||

Before parking your car, you pass by a collection post with envelopes to hold your $2.00 per vehicle entrance fee. The grassy area that the parking spaces surround contains a few picnic tables where visitors can rest or enjoy a meal in the outdoors. At the ranger station you can pick up a variety of pamphlets about Devil's Millhopper and other Florida state parks. On the back side of the station there is an informational movie viewing area where a push of a button starts the Devil's Millhopper documentary film. |

Around the entire circumference of Devil's Mill Hopper there is a wooden safety fence to prevent anyone from tumbling down the natural sinkhole. You can walk around the sinkhole and take in the scenic views or walk 120 feet down the wooden stairs. |
