Devil’s Hole OHV Trail

Route Description for Devil’s Hole OHV Trail

While hiking along an off-road vehicle trail might seem like an easy affair, the Devil’s Hole OHV Trail is a challenging adventure that features rocky terrain, as well as plenty of steep climbs and descents throughout. Be sure to wear proper hiking boots and bring trekking poles for stability. Additionally, the presence of off-road vehicles means that you will need to pay close attention while hiking and allow others sufficient room to safely pass. You will also need to purchase an adventure Pass in order to enjoy this route.

Even though it is quite a rugged route, the Devil’s Hole OHV Trail is still an enjoyable outing that will provide a good amount of exercise and some scenic views. At the end of the hike, you will have the chance to explore the area known as Devil’s Hole and relax alongside the banks of Deep Creek, which makes for a fun day out in the sun!

Setting out from the trailhead, you will follow Sawmill Road through the forest to the northwest for 0.6 km, where you will come to an intersection. Pass straight through and keep to the right over the next 0.9 km, following the route as it climbs uphill to arrive at a series of junctions.

Here, you will pass straight through the first junction and turn left at the second, following the road as it traverses the undulating landscape for the next 1.45mi to arrive at another junction near Stove Flats. Take the path on the right and follow it slightly downhill for 0.4 km to meet up with Squint Ranch Road.

Keeping right at the intersection, you will almost immediately be met with another junction and turn sharply left through the tree cover. From here on there are no further junctions until you arrive at Devil’s Hole, so you will not need to worry about navigation.

Continuing along the rocky and rugged road, you will head northeast for the next 2.1 km to begin your descent towards the banks of Deep Creek. Here, the trail will bend to the north and continue downhill for another 0.8 km, passing through the tree cover to arrive at Devil’s Hole and the charming banks of Deep Creek.

Take some time here to explore the area and enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape. If you brought your swimwear, there is a nice little beach on the opposite bank of the creek where you can relax by the water. After spending some time in the area, you will follow the same route back across the undulating terrain to the southwest in order to arrive back at the trailhead where you started your adventure on the Devil’s Hole OHV Trail.
