Devil's stand table — photo spot in HRX5+R9, Makanda, IL 62958, USA
Devil's stand table
A dramatic sandstone table-top rock in the Shawnee Hills offering textured cliff faces, hoodoos and layered forest vistas — great for wide landscape and detail shots. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) when warm side-lighting accentuates striations; fall foliage adds color. Access via trails in Giant City area (moderate hike; some scrambling). Park at nearby lot (state park rules/fee may apply). Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds; avoid wet sandstone after heavy rain for safety.
