Devil's Lake is an easy, short hike in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness, within the Tongue Ranger District of the Bighorn National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is about 0.25 miles long, with a high point of 9,422 feet and a low of 9,404 feet. The climb is minimal, with just 13 feet of elevation gain one way. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses. Bikes are not permitted. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burgess Junction show July highs around 71°F and lows near 42°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures up high run cooler. The hike is open year-round, and Cross Creek Campground is about 5.5 miles away. Shell Reservoir Camping Area is about 7.2 miles away. For more hiking, Thayer Lake is about 1.2 miles off and Edelman is about 1.4 miles away.
