Even though fall is winding down, there's still great hiking to do at Devil's Lake…

The Jan 26/27 2019 snowstorm left about 11 inches of fresh snow at Devil’s Lake State Park. It’s a snowshoeing & skiing paradise out there! Well, it would be if it weren’t for the sudden arrival of record dangerously cold wind chills! Well, as soon as we could get out of our driveway, we strapped on our snowshoes and made our way up the bluff. Here are a few pictures!

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.
