Devil Hole Run (also known as Devil's Hole Run) is a tributary of Little Fishing Creek in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 2.7 miles (4.3 km) long and flows through Pine Township. The stream is mostly surrounded by forested land and it is part of a Locally Significant Area listed on the Columbia County Natural Areas Inventory. It has a single named tributary. Plantlife common in the vicinity of the stream include hemlock trees. Trout inhabit the stream itself.
Devil Hole Run begins in a small pond in Pine Township, a few hundred feet from the border between Columbia County and Lycoming County. It flows south-southeast for a few tenths of a mile before turning south. After a few hundred feet, the stream turns south-southeast again, crossing Wolf House Hollow Road. Its valley becomes deeper as it continues downstream. After at least two miles (three kilometers), it receives its only named tributary, Kline Hollow Run. At this point, the stream turns south for a few tenths of a mile, crossing Devil Hole Run Road. It then exits its valley and turns southeast. A short distance further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Little Fishing Creek on the border between Pine Township and Greenwood Township.
Kline Hollow Run, which joins Devil Hole Run in the latter stream's lower reaches, is the only named tributary of Devil Hole Run.
The elevation near the mouth of Devil Hole Run is 853 feet (260 m) above sea level. The elevation of the stream's source is between 1,260 feet (380 m) and 1,280 feet (390 m) above sea level.
The area that surrounds Devil Hole Run is known as Devil's Hole Hollow.
Devil Hole Run is located in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Benton. The mouth of the stream is at the community of Cole's Mill and is located near the community of Derrs. The stream is within a large and mostly untouched block of forest. The only roads that are close to the stream are small private roads.
