Devil's Bath is situated along the Alice Lake Loop in northern Vancouver Island. Type: It's a cenote, a natural sinkhole formed by the collapse of limestone rock.

It's one of the largest cenotes in Canada, with a depth of 44 meters and a circumference of 359 meters. Connection to Benson River: Devil's Bath is connected to the Benson River through a series of underwater cave passages, 80 meters below the water table.

The cenote is part of the Quatsino limestone karst system, which is known for its numerous karst formations and cave systems.

The cenote is located along a logging road and is accessible on foot. There is a viewing platform to view the sinkhole for those who just want a quick look.

The Eternal Fountain and the Disappearing River are also located close to Devil's Bath.

The cave system within Devil's Bath can be muddy, and some chambers require swimming to reach, so visitors should come prepared and be aware of the potential hazards. If you are not educated on caving, please do not enter these caves.
