Devil’s Lake State Park

Just an hour and a half northwest is Devil’s Lake State Park, our largest state park. Sure, there’s fishing, boating, and swimming, but have you seen the photos? This is the perfect place for your inner photographer. The lake is massive with over 300 acres of water. Hiking and rock climbing are also popular. Devil’s Lake is said to have the best hiking in Wisconsin Dells. Bonus! The park is open year-round! Check it out at S5975 Park Rd. in Baraboo.

Ready to get cozy with nature? Explore the park in a new GMC truck like the Canyon or Sierra 1500! GMC’s new line of trucks are as comfortable as they are durable.

Want to slow down a bit at a relaxing resort? The Shore Club is the perfect place for you. It’s located at 267 Victorian Village Dr. Shop around at the nearby farmer’s market. Wilke Lake, Wolf Lake, and Lake Michigan are all close by and ready for your water adventures. Did I mention that the hotel offers babysitting services for a surcharge?
