Sinkholes are pretty common in Florida but this one is special. This sinkhole covers about a hundred meters of strata rock and in about 120 feet deep. The particular boardwalk is made on the sides of the sinkhole. This allows you to go to the marshy pools situated below and also look at the greenery down there.

There is a unique canopy of trees casting shade over the whole boardwalk. This allows the flora to flourish here and also provide shelter to the trekkers.

Hurricane Irma had caused quite some damage to this boardwalk which was being repaired in 2019. But people could still see many gorgeous sceneries of this miniature rainforest during their hiking trips.
