Devil’s Den State Park is a special place set aside to protect and preserve the natural and cultural resources of this unique Ozark Valley in northwest Arkansas. For over a year in the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) worked to create one of the jewels of Devil’s Den State Park – the lake and waterfall – now a legacy for generations to enjoy.

If you visit Devil’s Den State Park and take a guided hike or self-guided hike of the CCC Interpretive Trail, it's like turning back time and experience the same park from the 1930's.
