Devil’s Den State Park
In October of 2010 I made a short visit to the Devil’s Den State Park near Fayetteville, Arkansas. It’s an interesting place, built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and contains a number of nice rock structures. There are several hiking trails, but I’m not s hiker and didn’t do them. My dad lived in Arkansas and worked in the CCC in the 1930s – I’ve wondered if he was on the build crew here.
And now a few pictures.
