The Devil's Bathtub is a unique tiered waterfall in Hocking Hills State Park. It is located in the Old Man's Cave gorge, between the Upper Falls and Old Man's Cave. The upper part of the falls drops into a deep, bowl-shaped basin, forming a whirlpool, before dropping again into the large pool below. Legend says that the basin descends down to the gates of Hell. In actuality, it's only a few feet deep.
A stone bridge crosses the stream almost directly above the basin.
