Devil’s Den State Park

Deep in a valley of the rugged Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas, 2,500-acre Devil’s Den State Park 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. Today, the park features primitive campsites, picturesque cabins, picnic areas, hiking, equestrian, and mountain biking trails, and fishing areas.
