The Devil's River, fed by numerous springs, is clear and cool as it flows through the eastern edge of the west Texas desert region. This is a great area for explorers and nature lovers. You can spend the day fishing, hiking (off-trail hiking allowed) , swimming, or going for casual kayaking along the park boundary between Finegan Springs and Dolan Falls. More adventurous folks can head upstream for a more challenging kayak journey (permit required).

  • I grew up in Texas and spent weeks camping in the summer along pristine waters. I hope these beautiful waters are preserved for many generations to come.

    In 1977, I pulled off the asphalt road and cooled off in the Devils River, on a road trip from San Diego, CA to the Rio Grande Valley. This part of Texas is beautiful.
  • Indeed. This is a beautiful river and park. This is where the TX Hill Country, the South Texas Brush Country, and the Chihuahuan Desert all intersect.

    How on earth have I missed this place?! I grew up near Kerrville, and was a HUGE river rat. My buddies and I used to get my dad's maps (he was in the oil business), and find all the back dirt roads that led to interesting, beautiful and fun swimming spots that haven't been over run by tourists OR locals. We spent endless summer days road tripping to the Llano River up towards Mason (found a GREAT cliff diving spot!), or the Frio, or of course the Guadalupe... Any number of places, going a couple hundred miles or more. And yet, I don't recall, admittedly in my older age, the spot in THIS video!

    Devil's River is the purest water in all the state of Texas. When I was there a ranger alerted me to the fact a cougar had recently made a kill near the river and trail. It had covered the remains over with debris. Another hiker had spotted the cover up. Had me on high alert as I was hiking. The water was absolutely perfect. Turquois in color. I captured many a good photos during my trip of the area. Camping was fantastic. The camp sites are like a mile apart, so no one bothers you. It was hard to go to sleep at night for the star gazing was out of this world!

    Beautiful and thirst quenching. No need for mineral supplements here. And that gorgeous light aqua color - paradise in a parched land!
  • Sadly growing up in Del Rio, I've never been there, but now I must make it my mission to see this beautiful place😮

    A friend and I floated the Devil’s from a place called Baker’s Crossing, further up Hwy 277. It was 3 day float of the best small mouth bass fishing I’ve seen. My thumb was raw after the first day and had to learn how to take the hook out left handed by noon the next. If you think what you just saw was impressive, there’s much more to see. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Usually non Texans that travel through the entire length of Texas complain about the arduous boring flat landscape that extends for miles and miles . You just have to venture out of the well traveled highway to find these beautiful spots .
  • Think about all the Indians and cowboys passed through there in 1800’s. Would love to hear those stories
  • @mjm4ut
    Beautiful. That shot of the river from up high was incredible. What a great place. Thanks!
