This year at Devil’s Lake, the annual First Day hike will be a twilight hike/snowshoe…
Being out in nature can make us feel relaxed. The sounds of the forest, the scent of the leaves, the sunlight playing through the branches – these things ease our stress and help us relax and think more clearly. Join naturalist, Sue Johansen for the Japanese practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku and spend the morning on a relaxing walk on one of the forested trails at Devil’s Lake. You’ll hike the Tumbled Rock Trail, enjoying the sounds, smells, and sights this lakeside, forested trail has to offer.
When
Saturday, November 23 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Meet at the Devil’s Lake State Park North Shore Visitor Center
(This hike is for adults)

For nearly 2 decades the Skillet Creek blog has focused on 3 main goals; To inspire you to visit and explore the Devil’s Lake region, to help you get the most your visit by sharing tips, events, and other helpful information. Lastly to advocate for our environment & wildlife and talk about how we can keep our natural areas amazing now and into the future! That last goal can sometimes cause controversy, but it’s the only way we can accomplish the first two. – Derrick Mayoleth, Owner.
