Why you should go…

Devil's Den sits in the Lee Creek Valley of the Boston Mountains, where the Civilian Conservation Corps built the cabins, trails and rock dam in the 1930s. You can hike the Yellow Rock Trail for valley views, take on the 15-mile Butterfield Hiking Trail, or ride mountain bikes on Fossil Flats. The dam holds back Lake Devil, an 8-acre fishing lake. You can stay in one of 18 cabins with kitchens and fireplaces or camp at one of 107 campsites.
