4.0Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park(526 reviews) - Might Have Been Beautiful In It’s Hay-Day But Now Not So Much Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM State Parks
This was a decent length walk and hike down the wooden steps to the see sinkhole. I honestly expected a lot more based on pictures, which clearly were taken years ago. Now this massive sinkhole is nothing but a mud pit mosquito hive. The history and information of how the sinkhole formed long, long ago was interesting. It’s a good cardio workout for $4 a vehicle but overall nothing I’d ever feel the need to do again.See more..

5.0A Nan Buddhist Statue Park(22 reviews) - Serene Ambiance Saturday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Parks
This is an excellent place for anyone who may want to do meditation or just get away to spend some "me" time. Such majestic statues and all of them had smiling faces....beauties to behold. So serene, so peaceful and quiet; on the whole a must visit place. Apparently, they run meditation classes on Fridays as well as have prayers every Sunday morning. Will definitely go there again the next time I visit Gainsville.See more..
