The park's longest loop winds past globally rare cedar glades, seasonal wet-weather streams, and a deep round sinkhole for which the trail is named. Interpretive signs explain the unusual glade ecology and its endemic plants. The terrain is gentle, though the limestone underfoot is uneven in places.
