Really a great hiking trail, but used very little. We like to visit the Devil's Bath Tub http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=2d00b662-9c3f-43bd-99b4-0d462fad01c4 . A great place to swim after a long hike. We are geocachers/hikers and use our GPS units, as the Devil's bath tub and some of the trail heads are marked on the www.geocache.com site
We like to start at the Straight Fork ridge/ mouth of Devil's fork trail head near Big Cherry resoivor and hike down to the parking lot on Straight fork near Big Stoney Creek. Really hate to see that the last person to review this trail missed the highlight of the trail so I'll post the coordinates
Coordinates to the Devils Bath Tub:
N 36 48.802
W 082 38.979

I did this trail and wandered around for 5 hours looking for Devil's bathtub. I had a map but most of the forks in the trail were not on the map. When I would come to a fork in the trail both paths away from it would be marked in yellow. This happened at least 5 times. Unless you go with someone who has already been there before don't waste your time wandering through the forest. I'm an athletic person and my pace was a jog or fast walk the entire time. I easily could have covered the trial in no time if I had known where I was going. This trail is not labeled anywhere and there are a few signposts but the signs have been removed. Several of the trails that I attempted dead ended into hunting reserves. Not places I wanted to wander through. I'm sure Devil's bathtub is great, but getting there is nearly impossible.

This is a great hiking trail, a few geocaches in the area but the Devil's Bath Tub EarthCache is well worth the trip. Really a remote area with huge hemlocks, lots of creek crossings. When the water is up in the Winter it makes the trail impassable in places. We see lot's of bear sign in this and the Straight Fork area. Really a nice trail and not many people make use of it, seems that we always have the place to ourselves when we hike.
