Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area

Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area Review

A mile from the San Andreas Fault, the namesake of the Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area is a natural bowl-shaped depression in the earth, framed by 300-foot rock walls. At the bottom is a stream, which you can reach via a moderately strenuous 1-mi hike. You also can veer off on a short nature trail; at the top an interpretive center has displays of native flora and fauna, including live animals such as snakes, lizards, and birds of prey.
