The overlook at the end of the stairs and walkway gives a good perspective of the size of the sinkhole. I spoke to the Ranger when I entered the park and he mentioned the water was significantly higher than usual. He also mentioned, after seeing the WV plates on my car, he had been planning to vacation there for some time, but had not made it yet. He also mentioned he had been raised in Fort Wayne and had now lived in Florida for 27 years.
