I bet some of our out-of-town guests have never been to this state park. Just thought I'd take this opportuntity to post some directions, as well as some information about other things you can do at Devils Lake, and in the area in general, in case you're planning to make a mini-vacation out of the wedding weekend.
Intro to Devil's Lake:
Situated along the Ice Age Trail, 500-foot 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. Devil`s Lake State Park has 29 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of mountain biking trails. Nature programs and walks are offered at the Nature Center.
How to get there:
- From the south or east on Interstate Highway 90/94, take State Highway 33 west about 15 miles to Baraboo. Turn left (south) on State Highway 123 and go 3 miles to the 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 159. Turn left (east) on Highway 159 and go about 2 miles to the park.
- From the south on US 12, turn right (east) on Highway 159 and go about 2 miles to the park.
In addition, from about April through November, the park can be reached via the Merrimac free ferry, State Highway 113 and County Highway DL.

Stuff to do nearby:
- Circus World Museum, Baraboo
- International Crane Foundation, Baraboo
- American Players Theater, Spring Green
- Wollersheim Winery, Sauk City
And, of course, all sorts of stuff to do in the Wisconsin Dells. The waterparks close after Labor Day. To me, that makes the prospect of visiting the Dells much more attractive.
