| Hike Summary: | Devil's Lake State Park has spectacular views from 500 foot cliffs, miles of hiking trails, swimming areas including two large sandy beaches, hundreds of campsites, mountain bike trails, and cross country ski trails. Part of the 1,000 mile Wisconsin Ice Age Trail also passes through the park. During our overnight visit, we hiked a moderate to difficult wooded section that runs between Parfrey's Glen and the Ice Age Loop. There are spectacular views to the south in this area and you can see the Wisconsin River in the distance. |
