About Devils River State Natural Area
In southwest Texas, far from all cities and most people, lies one of the most pristine rivers in Texas. Clear spring-fed water tumbles past rugged ridges, scenic canyons and brushy banks. It’s not easy to get here, but it’s worth the effort. State natural areas protect special places and species. As such, they offer limited amenities and unlimited nature. The Devils River connects the two units of the state natural area: Del Norte and Dan A. Hughes. Together, the units encompass 37,000-plus acres in Val Verde County.
