Longest River - St. Johns at 273 miles
Largest Lake - Lake Okeechobee at 700 square miles
(the 2nd largest freshwater lake in the United States)

Yes, many lakes in Florida are indeed sinkholes due to the state's unique geology, which includes a limestone bedrock that is prone to erosion. Over time, the dissolution of limestone by acidic water can create underground cavities, leading to collapses that form sinkholes. These sinkholes can fill with water, creating lakes. Florida's high water table and frequent rainfall further contribute to the formation of these features.
