Hike and Swim

Devil's Waterhole is a canyon swimming hole located in Inks Lake State Park. This beautiful reservoir is a part of the Colorado River and takes a hike to find, but once you arrive the beauty will be well worth it. Devil's Waterhole is surrounded beautiful rock formations and woods where hiking trails are available and diving spots can be found. The water is calm, deep and cool the perfect place to bring your floaties and enjoy a relaxing day on the water. 

Because of the rocky terrain swim shoes are recommended to protect feet from injury. No lifeguards are posted at this swimming hole, so swimming and diving are at your own risk. It is recommended to swim in groups and only dive with experience in areas with deeper water. Parking is available in several places throughout the park, but the nearest parking lot fills up quickly. The earlier you arrive the easier it will be to find a spot.

Inks Lake State Park is open from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm daily and costs $6.00 for a day pass (children 12 and under enter for free). The day pass includes other areas and activities at Inks Lake State Park as well as the cost for parking. Reservations are required for Devil's Waterhole and can be made on the state park website or by calling their costumer service center.
