Rocher du Diable

Le Rocher du Diable (Devil’s Rock) est une faille résultant de l’affaissement d’une partie d’un massif rocheux à la suite d’une fissure dans la croûte terrestre. Elle mesure 600 pieds, la moitié sous l’eau du lac Témiscamingue. On peut s’y rendre en 40 minutes de marche en suivant le sentier qui part de Bucke Park Campground.

People of all ages will be fascinated by the magnificent view overlooking Lake Temiskaming. Interesting features are the scars of mining tunnels chiseled into the cliff during the silver rush era. A few of these tunnels can be access by boats at the bottom of the cliff.

Within the past few years, people have been rock climbing on Devil Rock. This growing sport has attracted many people from out of town to face the challenge of Devil Rock.

Légende du Rocher

Devil Rock, a fault cliff, formed as a result of a bib crack or a fissure in the surface of the earth's crust as one side moved with respects to the other. As it turned out, the East side moved down with respects to the West side, forming the cliffs you see today. Devil's Rock is a part of the of the Nipissing Diabase Sill, which is a host rock for silver. This sill is a great big, roughly horizontal, intrusive rock that is about 1000 feet thick. The rock itself is very hard so that is why the cliffs remains today as wind, rain and ice have not been able to fully erode it. The cliff itself is 600 feet, 300 feet below the water and 300 feet above.

So next time you decide to visit Devil's Rock, stop and think about the many interesting and mysterious things that have happened there. Then, maybe you will realize that Devil's Rock is more than just a cliff.
