I love the name of this lake, it caught my attention immediately. I just pulled off the side of the highway in a wide pull-off area where there were little trails going down to the lakes edge. I didn’t drive to the trailhead area of the lake off FS 4600-430. There appears to be a trail that goes along one side of the lake, but it doesn't circle the lake fully.
The water was very clear and a pretty light blue. It looked like it would be a nice lake to paddle board or kayak on. It is right next to the highway so there is road noise when cars go by.

How to get there (from Bend, OR)
Take SW Century Dr. out of Bend (which turns into Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway) fro 25.6 miles. A pull out alongside the lake is on the left side of the road. OR continue on the Hwy for 0.6 miles more and turn left on FS 4600-430 to access Devils Lake TH and Campground.
