Are you drawn to adventures up high? What about challenging yourself, both physically and mentally, while exploring in the Great Outdoors? Or are you a geologist nerd at heart who loves to get close up with incredible rock formations? Devil’s Lake State Park, located just outside of Baraboo, Wisconsin, is home to some of the most incredible recreation the Midwest has to offer. With over 1,600 climbing routes, 29 miles of hiking trails, and some of the most scenic views of the beautiful Driftless Region, there’s something here for everyone!
Join the Winona Outdoor Collaborative on a climbing retreat at Devil’s Lake State Park. For the weekend warriors in us all, we’ll explore the park for two full days by rock climbing, camping, and hiking. Enjoy nights spent around the fire, connecting with others, while surrounded by the beauty that is Southcentral Wisconsin.o.
