The rule here
This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. Death Valley National Park puts it this way:
“Due to the sensitive nature of Devils Hole, the pool is fenced and must be viewed from afar; bring binoculars to better see the tiny fish from the Devils Hole viewing platform.”

Worth knowing: A detached unit of Death Valley National Park, and the only natural home of the endangered Devils Hole pupfish; the water level was protected by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976.
