Devil's Den State Park

What to know

An Arkansas icon, this special place nestled in Lee Creek Valley was selected as a state park site in the 1930s. The Civilian Conservation Corps used native materials to build the park’s rustic-style wood and stone structures that mirror the surrounding natural beauty. It now stands as one of the most intact CCC sites in the U.S., with a legacy you can see in its trails and buildings like its original cabins. Some of the park’s unique characteristics are rock formations and caverns. An impressive rock dam spans Lee Creek forming Lake Devil, an 8-acre lake for fishing. The park’s hiking, backpacking, mountain bike, and horseback riding trails lead to the surrounding Ozark National Forest.

Devil’s Den includes 18 cabins with kitchens and fireplaces and 9 camper cabins. The park also offers 107 campsites (45 Class AAA, 24 Class D [no hookups], 6 bike-in [tent only], and 24 sites with hookups in the horse camp that includes a bathhouse and access to the horse trails). The park’s cafe is open seasonally. The pool is open in summer only. Also on-site is a group camp, standard pavilion and a store.

Join park interpreters on hikes along trails and for a variety of programs and special events year-round, like the Ozark Mountain Bike Festival held annually in the spring.
