The park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps beginning in 1933. Devil's Den State Park is in the Lee Creek Valley in the Boston Mountains which are the southwestern part of The Ozarks. The park, with an CCC built lake, is open for year-round recreation, including, hiking, mountain bike and equestrian trails. Devil's Den State Park also has several picnic areas, a swimming pool, cabins and camping site ranging from modern to primitive. Fossils of coral and crinoids can be found along the banks and within Lee Creek at Devil's Den State Park.〔 ==History== Devil's Den State Park protects the largest sandstone crevice area in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Devil's Den State Park - West Fork, Arkansas )〕 The park is in the Lee Creek Valley. The valley is littered with numerous sandstone caves, bluffs, ravines, rock shelters and crevices that provided an excellent hiding place for outlaws on the Butterfield Stage Line from 1858 until the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861. With the onset of the war the rocky area was used by bands of Confederate guerillas as a hide out and staging area for conducting raids on the Union Army's supply lines as well as civilian targets.〔 The roads of the Butterfield State Line were also used by regular troops during the Civil War. Confederate and Union forces used the road during the Battle of Prairie Grove and for the Raid on Van Buren.〔 The former town of Anna is contained within the park. It was destroyed by a flood in 1893. All that remains of the town is a cemetery, a well, and some foundations. The remnants of Anna can be seen along the Butterfield Hiking Trail near Junction Camp. Lee Creek Valley was identified during the Great Depression as a site for a state park. Construction on the park began in 1933.〔 Devil's Den State Park was built by young men working for the Civilian Conservation Corps which was established during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide work for unemployed young men from throughout the United States. The young men of the CCC lived in military style barracks and constructed many of the recreational facilities at the park, including pavilions, trails and the dam and spillway on Lee Creek that forms Lake Devil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Devil's Den State Park )〕 The park underwent an extensive renovation in the 1970s when the CCC built structures were refurbished.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Articles - Devil's Den State Park )〕 Devil's Den State Park is recognized as one of the best preserved CCC projects in the United States.〔 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 for its CCC-related Rustic architecture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Devil's Den State Park Historic District )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Devil's Den State Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
