The Devils River is a pristine, whitewater river in southwestern Texas, USA. From its headwaters (30°20' N, 100°57' W) in northwest Sutton County, it flows southwest for 94 miles (151 km) through Val Verde County and empties into the northeastern shore (29°28' N, 101°04' W) of the Amistad Reservoir in Del Rio, Texas on the Texas/Mexico border.
The Devils River is one of the most unspoiled rivers in the United States because of its remote location in a hostile environment that limits pollution from human and animal populations and because the river flows underground for part of its journey. As it passes underground, the gravel, sand and limestone scrub the river water clean before it re-emerges some twenty miles (32 km) later. This process makes the Devil's River one of the cleanest water sources in the world.
Although it is a popular kayaking and canoeing venue, it is difficult to gain access because much of the river is bounded by private property. Luckily, much of the river is protected through conservation easements on both sides of the river. The Nature Conservancy is working to protect this river through the Devils River Project. As of now the project has protected 87,000 acres (350 km²) along the river. Along with the Devil's River State Natural Area the protected land along the river totals 110,000 acres (450 km2).
