Last week after playing soccer in Gainesville several of up stopped at a sink hole that is a Florida state park. It was a beautiful hike down a 236 stairs, with waterfalls all around.
Here is a link from a hiking website with more info:
Devil's Millhopper
The Florida parks guide explains where the name comes from (link):
Devil’s Millhopper gets its unique name from its funnel-like shape. During the 1880’s, farmers used to grind grain in gristmills. On the top of the mill was a funnel-shaped container called a "hopper" that held the grain as it was fed into the grinder. Because fossilized bones and teeth from early life forms have been found at the bottom of the sink, legend has it that the millhopper was used to feed bodies to the devil. Hence, Devil’s Millhopper.
