Geology
Devil's Bath is hydrologically connected to the Benson River through a series of underground passages 80 metres (260 ft) below the water table. This connection maintains the presence of water within the sinkhole.[1]
Access
Devil's Bath is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of Port Alice along Alice Lake Road in a forested area owned by Western Forest Products Inc. Access to the cenote itself is restricted by the forest growth and the steep terrain leading to the edge of the cenote.[1]
