Devil's Lake State Park is a fantastic place to go to enjoy nature. This lake was created by a glacier during the last ice age, some 12,000 years ago. If you think 12,000 years is old, take a look at the pink quartzite boulders in the picture; many of them have ripple marks on their surface, much like the ripples you see on sand dunes formed from the wind. These perfectly preserved marks tell us that they once were sand on an ancient beach calculated to be around 1.6 billion years old, give or take a few years!
This area of Wisconsin is perfect for camping, hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, hunting, fishing, winter sports, golf and scenic drives. If any of these activities interest you, this is a perfect place to visit.
