Devil's Den is a boulder-strewn hill on the south end of Houck's Ridge at Gettysburg Battlefield, once used by artillery and infantry (e.g., sharpshooters) on the second day of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. A tourist attraction since the memorial association era, several boulders are worn from foot traffic and the site includes numerous cannon, memorials, and walkways, including a bridge spanning two boulders.To visit Devils Den on your trip to Gettysburg, use our Gettysburg itinerary builder site.

This is good to stop and take photos, walk around, walk on. However, it is currently closed to visitors for the remainder of the year and into next to do needed restoration work.

I have been at Gettysburg 5 times for a vacation and I absolutely loved all the history and it made social studies way back when, come alive. We stayed at a hotel right by General Lee's Headquarters. Still have the history magazines we got there and our photos. To stand right where the action happened is "chilling", especially at the Peach Orchard where the bloodiest part happened. You got to go to Gettysburg!
