Devil's Den Trail - Devil's Den State Park

Den Trail is a 1.3-mile loop that offers varying terrain of dirt and stones and a different gradient throughout on stone stairs. Even as short as the hike is, the trail offers beautiful scenery with caves, moss-covered rock formations, waterfalls and an unforgettable magical experience in the dry riverbed. The trail takes you past caves that are no longer open to the public to protect the bats that inhabit the area. But if you stand in front of the crevices, you can feel the sudden burst of cool air that flows through the rock formations and cave openings. On a hot and humid Arkansas summer day, this is a welcome treat. While most of the trail is safe, parents need to stay in front of littles and watch for drop-offs. There are bridge crossings that pass by moss-covered rocks where gentle waterfalls cascade down into the creek below during the rainy season. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but keep them on a leash for their safety.
