Founded in 1911, Devil's Lake is
the third oldest state park in Wisconsin,
the largest, and the most visited. Devil's Lake
offers magnificent views from 500-foot quartzite bluffs overlooking a 360-acre
lake. Enjoy lakeshore picnic areas, sandy swimming beaches, 29 miles of hiking
trails, or ease into the backcountry solitude. Devil's Lake is
a beautiful year-round park with an intriguing natural history along the
1,000-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail.
Devil's Lake State Park is in south central Wisconsin about 3 miles south of Baraboo. From the
south or east on Interstate Highway 90/94, take State Highway 33 west about 15

park. From the northwest on I-90/94, go right (south) at exit 92. Take US Highway 12-East about 10 miles to State Highway

Merrimac free ferry, State Highway 113 and County Highway DL.
There are
concessions buildings on both the north and south shore ends of the lake, and
in the Ice Age Campground. The buildings are open all summer and some spring
and fall weekends. The stores sell food and groceries, basic camp items, ice,
firewood, souvenirs, shirts and hats. Proceeds from nonprofit stores' sales go
to the park and are used to enhance customer services. Both buildings on the
lake rent boats and canoes during summer.
