Devils River State Natural Area — Del Norte Unit
About
Named for the whitewater Devils River that runs through it, the Devils River State Natural Area — Del Norte was once part of a large working ranch, but was purchased by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 1988. Today the Devils River — Del Norte is home to many varieties of flora and fauna, including the Mexican free-tailed bat as well as live oak, pecan, and sycamore trees. Devils River — Del Norte is a very remote location surrounded by private ranches; therefore visitors to the State Natural Area fully enjoy the area’s pristine night skies.
