Devil's Bathtub in Virginia is one of the most stunning natural treasures in the state. With its crystal blue waters, the swimming spot is about as picturesque as they come.

Devil’s Fork Loop Trail is perfect for the true backcountry enthusiasts who are willing to get their feet wet. All hikers should be prepared to scramble over boulders, and should plan their visit during relatively low water conditions. This seldom traveled trail runs up Big Stony Creek, where huge boulders match the creek’s name.
Devil’s Fork Loop Trail follows the route of a road which was used in the more recent past to mine coal, as well as to remove trees for lumber. An old, rusting coal car is testimony to the area’s history.
The highlight of the trail is the spectacular Devil’s Bathtub. Further up the trail, you will pass a waterfall.
Going left after the bathtub following the yellow markers brings you back down to the trailhead.
There is also an option about a quarter of the way around the northern side of the Devil’s Fork Loop Trail, the Straight Fork Ridge Trail branches off to the right (north.)

This is a spot to hear some great music, meet wonderful folks and, when concessions are open, grab the best peach cobbler in the world, made the old-fashioned way in an iron skillet. Make sure to top it off with vanilla ice cream.
