Devil's Millhopper is a large sinkhole with beautiful lush scenery to take in while exercising. There are streams that create music as they trickle down the steep walls. At the base there is a pool of water with algae growing on the top. Ferns and other foliage cover the sides of the hole leaving a green canvas. The temperature as you progress to the bottom of the sinkhole drops slightly cooler than at the top. There is also a trail that goes through the woods around the sinkhole. Beware doing this hike in the middle of summer because if the heat doesn't get you, the mosquitoes will!
