Thanks for the info

I may try to get there (Devils River) sometime in early spring before it's too hot, maybe March or April. Hopefully there will be some rain between now and then. This drought has gone on for too long. I have a USGS topo map of the area, but of course they are seldom updated, so it does not show the boundaries of the SNA, and I can't tell which interesting features on the map (springs, etc) will be accessible. Anyway, it's still a place I hope to explore some day. I have visited Seminole Canyon state park, which is in the same general area; it has somewhat similar scenery, but no flowing river...just nice views of Lake Amistad & Seminole Canyon, but no easy water access. It does have about 7 miles of easy hiking trails.
