But perhaps the most popular trail is the Sinkhole Trail, which is a boardwalk path that meanders through various ferns and moss-covered boulders to bring guests to the largest waterfall in the state, clocking in at over 70-feet.

While some call it a hiking trail, others prefer a walking trail, as it’s no more than a mile out and back and features a minimal elevation gain.
