Devil's Bath is a large cenote located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. With a depth of 44m (144feet) and a circumference of 359m (1,178feet), it is one of the largest cenotes in Canada.[1]
Devil's Bath is hydrologically connected to the Benson River through a series of underground passages 80m (260feet) below the water table. This connection maintains the presence of water within the sinkhole.[1]
Devil's Bath is located about 6km (04miles) southeast of Port Alice along Alice Lake Road in a forested area owned by Western Forest Products Inc. Access to the cenote itself is restricted by the forest growth and the steep terrain leading to the edge of the cenote.[1]
