Devils Lake, Baraboo Wisconsin

Devils Lake, Baraboo, Wisconsin - Tucked away in central Wisconsin is a great park called Devils lake. It is the most visited park in Wisconsin and boasts over 29 miles of park trails as well as the 360-acre spring fed lake which you see here. It has a nature center and a campgrounds as well. This park is 2 miles out of Baraboo and only 40 miles from Madison, the state capital.

Madison, Wisconsin - Here is a photo of lake Monona with Madison's capital building in the background. Madison has always been a great college town hosting the UWM Badgers. The heart of the city is beautifully placed between two lakes, Mendota and Monona, and peppered with city parks.

Sand Lake, Wisconsin - Hidden amongst the pine tree, you can find Sand Lake, Wisconsin. Several lakes call themselves "Sand Lake", but there is really only one that matters. The second largest lake of a chain of 5, Sand Lake is a local favorite where many Wisconsinites call a second home. Don't forget to stop by one of the resorts on the lake for a pint of beer and fresh fish.

Sand Lake Wisconsin

Sand Lake, Wisconsin - Fishing is the sport of choice when visiting this area. Walleye, Northern Pike, and Musky are some of the species which inhabit these lakes. Most fisherman will make special efforts to get on the lake at sunrise first thing in the morning. This thought tends to escape the novice fisherman until you actually do it and realize that the fish aren't the only thing you can catch.

Sand Lake, Wisconsin - On a similar morning, we have the loon of the lake catching their meals. Loons have large red eyes which allow them to see underwater as they dive up to 200 feet deep, for up to ten minutes. While the loon is very territorial, with lakes typically only having room for one pair, later in the season they will gather socially in small groups as they prepare for a winter migration south.
