Welcome The Devil’s Sinkhole is a
collapsed underground cavern in the relatively flat, hard limestone of the
Edwards Plateau. It is near
Rocksprings, Texas. Since 1985 the
property has been a State Natural Area.
As such the public access has been limited to preserve its many unique
qualities.
Today the Sinkhole is the
summer home to one to four million
Mexican Free-tailed Bats (a subspecies of the Brazilian Free Tailed
Bat). It is an amazing sight at
sundown when they begin to come out, a few at first then more and more until
they become a swirling mass.
The Devil’s Sinkhole is an unforgettable experience. If you like the rugged ranch land of this
part of Texas and like to observe nature close-up you will be fascinated on
the Devil’s Sinkhole Tour provided by the Devil’s Sinkhole Society. |
