Recreation Region: Apalachicola National Forest

River Sinks

Just across Crawfordville Highway and a little south from the Leon Sinks Geological Area, the River Sinks are a connected showcase of karst formations making up part of the Woodville Karst Plain.

The River Sinks are on a non-contiguous part of the Apalachicola National Forest, and must be accessed from the River Sinks Tract trailhead, which is a part of Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park. The state charges a fee to enter the park.
