Geology

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]

Access

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]
