This 1.5 mile trail was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps through oak-hickory forest in the western Boston Mountains. The workers drank from the cold springs along the trail.

Devil’s Den Trail features a variety of rock formations, scenic overlooks and a waterfall before dropping down to beautiful Lee Creek.Plan on wandering several hundred feet into Devil’s Den Cave, the feature from which the park took its name, but the cave may not be for the claustrophobic.

Another geologic feature of Devil’s Den State Park worth exploring is Devil’s Icebox, a series of cracks and fractures probably caused by a major rock slide in the region. The trail takes a couple of hours. Bring water, a camera and a flashlight for the cave.
