Description
As the water works it's way down through Old Man's Cave gorge, one of the first unusual areas that it encounters is here at Devil's Bathtub. This is an area in the sandstone that has been cemented together more tightly than the other nearby rock layers. Because of this constriction of the stream, it has forced the water to carve in the only direction it can, straight down. Over time, the swirling action has carved out the "Bathtub" shape in the rock. Legend says the swriling drain goes all the way down to Hades itself. The reality is the tub is several feet deep and then comes out downstream under the bridge and towards Old Man's Cave. The tub may look like a great place to take a bath; however, the tub can be very dangerous and climbing out is virtually impossible.
