Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area

Located near Rocksprings, TX, the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area consists of 1,860 acres typical of the Edwards Plateau. Deeply cut canyons are on the southern end of the site. These canyons support trees such as escarpment black cherry, Buckley oak, Lacey oak and pinyon pine. Plateau live oak dominates the uplands.
