Here is a little bit of info I found on Devil's Cave. It's not much, but maybe it will help.

<<Staying with devil's theme in local geography there is a "Devil's Cave" along Lycoming Creek near the Wildwood Cemetery. There is a unique geological formation of large boulders along Montgomery Pike called the "Devil's Turnip Patch." And there is a road with a 90-degree bend to it in Piatt Township called the "Devil's Elbow.">>

well I finially found out exactly where the devils cave was here in Williamsport. take High St and go past the old Lycoming engines factory and where high st makes a right turn and you come to the bridge it was on the right . the land has slid away there and the only way one might get to the cave if it is still there is to take a trail from high st just befor the turn and hike up over the hill and come down or hike from Wildwood cemetary over and down. it is city water supply and no trespassing there now.

Update on it : the place where the cave was has been blasted out I was told because kids was getting iin there and the city was afraid that someone would get hurt. one can see the rubble from where high st ends and lycoming creek road starts.

Could you explain to me how to get to this location from the Citgo gas station located at the bottom of Wildwood Rd?

Hey Jeff......

Did TnT2000 ever find the Devil's Cave he was looking for? That post card says: Easton, PA

Looks like these caves are better known as the Durham Caves...
