Devil's Kitchen, Protected natural area in Mackinac Island, Michigan, United States.
Devil's Kitchen features two distinct hollows in a limestone cliff formation, with the upper cavity positioned directly above the lower one.
The cave structure formed during the Nipissing post-glacial period when the waves of Lake Huron eroded the brecciated limestone of Mackinac Island.
Native American communities in the Straits of Mackinac region developed stories about spirits inhabiting the cave, leading to its current name.
The cave location within Mackinac Island State Park makes it accessible via the M-185 state highway that circles the entire island.
The interior walls of the cave display dark soot markings, which connect to local narratives about ancient cooking fires within the cavern.
