Devils Waterhole features granite rock formations rising 40 feet above the water, creating multiple levels for swimming and recreation within Inks Lake State Park.
The area transformed from Native American hunting grounds into a state park following the construction of Roy Inks Dam on the Colorado River in the 1930s.
Rangers conduct educational programs about local wildlife and geology while leading guided tours through the swimming hole and surrounding park areas.
