There are so many holiday events these days, that it's nearly impossible (and expensive!) to…
The weather forecast is looking mighty good this weekend which means everyone will be out to see the fall colors in Baraboo Hills area. While you’re out this weekend, you may also want to check out these events…
Halloween Mystery Hike – Mirror Lake State Park
Saturday, Oct 19th from 6 pm – 8 pm – Calling all Nature Detectives! Join the State Park Staff and the Friends of Mirror Lake, this Saturday, Oct 19th from 6 pm-8 pm, for a fun family evening at the park as we locate clues along the easy 1-mile torch-lit trail to help find out who is our Mystery Guest.

Fall Photo Hike At Devil’s Lake
Saturday, Oct 19th from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm What better excuse to get outside than to go on a hike to take pictures! This will be an informal hike with a chance to get out and take pictures of Devil’s Lake in fall. This hike is a good one for amateur photographers or photographers who would like to help others take better pictures.
We will start at Steinke basin, heading up the rescue road to the top of the east bluff. Since we will be hiking near dusk, hopefully, we’ll get a beautiful sunset to take pictures of from on top of the bluff.
Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp with you since we’ll be hiking back down at twilight. This will be about a 2-mile hike with some rugged/difficult terrain, but not too steep of hills. It can get chilly on top of the bluff, so make sure to dress in layers and bring water with you.
Meet at the Steinke Basin Parking Lot

Whether this is your first time on the fall art tour, or if you’ve visited our studios every year for the past two decades, we truly look forward to spending this special weekend in October with you.
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.
