Devil's Lake State Park

I went to practice backpacking and it was a great place to do so. The park is so beautiful. I’d definitely go again!!

At Devil’s Lake State Park, 500-foot quartzite bluffs tower above a 360-acre lake. Spectacular scenery, a full range of recreational activities, and a full-time naturalist make this a very popular park. The 9,117-acre state park is 2 miles south of Baraboo and about 30 miles north of Madison. More people visit Devil’s Lake State Park annually—1.2 to 1.4 million—than any other state park in Wisconsin. Peak visitation is during the late spring, summer and fall, when visitors can swim in or boat on the clear, 360-acre spring fed lake. The park is a unit of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve.
