Leon Sinks Hike

HIKE: Abt 5 miles

BRING: Water, bug spray, hat, hiking boots, possibly long pants.

This is a trail leading to a series of sinkholes, big and small. Some are dry; others are wet (see picture). A layer of limestone underlies the land in this area, eroded and dissolved by rainwater and groundwater, forming caverns, holes, and tunnels. This type of terrain is called "karst" and results in many geological features such as wet sinkholes, depressions, natural bridges, and a disappearing stream. Be on the lookout for the albino crawfish!
