Review:
Devils Well is an unusual "karst window" that allows visitors to have a look deep into the earth's bowels. The well was created when the roof of a huge cavern collapsed, creating a large sinkhole that has a hole in the bottom through which it is possible to see an underground lake. There is a spiral staircase built to make the viewing easier. Devils Well is located near Akers just off Route KK, and the road leading to the cave is steep and rough. Entrance is free, and there is a light in the stairway the visitors can activate themselves. Outside the cave, a 4.6-mile long trail leads from Devils Well to Cave Spring, and from the trail you can see the path of the water from Devils Well.
