This was such an amazing experience! I took two candles, a few chalks a knife and a cat and the very first minutes I could already feel it was going to be a great night! I didn't had to look for a secluded place at all, I just walked for a bit and I was already lost. There are like a thousand trails and half of them looked pretty abandoned which was just perfect. You could feel the spirit of the thing! I quickly camped and drew a few stars on the ground just to practice. I thought I would have to fast for a day or two but there are a bunch of turtles there that taste really good! (And helped me with the cat, who needs a knife anyway? Those things bite hard!) Going back to civilization was easy, you just walk in a straight line for a few dozen miles and you will get somewhere. Great place, already recommended it to all my friends that are looking for some experiences. Definitely worthy of its name.

Well marked trails of various lengths maintained by the Nature Conservancy. It can get muddy in many areas after a heavy rain fall. Trails are open from sunrise to sunset. Trails are for hiking or cross country skiing. No bikes are allowed. No pets or horses are allowed.

We were incredibly excited to visit Devil’s Den since it is practically right in our backyard and heard such great things! It did not disappoint! Smallish parking lot, but had no issues finding a spot. It had a wonderful interactive trail map to help us pick our trail and allowed the kids to get engaged. The hike was amazing, the lake and waterfall was epic and the kids loved it! Will be back many many time!

I went on a hike here with my boyfriend and was happy to see all the trails available. Pets and bikes aren't allowed so it makes this park much less crowded. The trails are well marked and some are less maintained, so its a nice experience for people looking for a bit more of an adventurous hike. There is not a lot of parking in the lot on the south side, not sure if there is another lot however?

You might feel like you're going the wrong way as you drive there but hey, they don't call it the Devil's Den for nothing. They're a little high tech and have a tablet where you can download a map but if you like to go without tech, they also have paper maps...until they don't. You can do a very short and simple hike or a lengthy and difficult one, the choice is yours.

We were traveling from PA to Boston and we’re looking for a place to stop and stretch our legs. So glad we found this great preserve! We did a short hike around the pond. The trails were well maintained and well marked. Wear sturdy shoes…there are rocks and a lot of roots along the trail next to the water. Beautiful scenery!
