This pic was forwarded to me. Don't know if its true or not.
"A large sinkhole (about 30 yards in diameter) has opened up on the southwest corner of the Leon County side of Lake Miccosukee right next to the public boat ramp on US 90. It formed around 12 noon today, and water from the lake has been draining into this sinkhole as fast as it can. Before now, there had only been one sinkhole associated with Lake Miccosukee, and that was the one on the far northern end of the lake by Reeves Landing, which is separated by the lake only by the concrete spillway constructed by FWC."

Sure looks like the area, hope it's not true, STANDING BY FOR MORE INFO.

I have friends headed that way now......

The water table has gotten too low once again.
We may see more of this soon.
Its' so dry the river fish near me have ticks and fleas.

I came thru there a little while ago, and it was not visible from the ramp. If it's true.

I hope that is not true...

It was confirmed over on FS

Any update on this? Heading over this weekend to look around (mudmotor firmly attached to boat).

A buddy of mine's father works for FWC. He told me about it last night. I believe that it is true.

Hunting buddy has confirmed that the sinkhole is real per a high ranking FWC official.

How much of the water has drained?

I went out yesterday and its pretty low folks. South of Rococo, I would be very careful, especially with an outboard. Wear your kill cords and lifejackets. If anyone is doing any early morning, predawn running around be VERY careful. Boat trails are not a guarantee.

Gators need to eat, too!
