Wisconsin's fall colors are amazing, and Devil's Lake State Park is one of the best…
It’s time for a Thursday morning Potty Report for Devil’s Lake State Park. As you know, some Wisconsin State Park restrooms were to open on June 3rd. Of course figuring out which ones is a bit more difficult. So we pulled a lot of door handles at Devil’s Lake State Park this morning and here’s our report…
North Shore
Most restrooms are open in the north shore day use area including at the visitor information building and the office. Down by the beach, the restrooms on the west side near Tumbled Rocks Trail (Sugar Maple Shelter) are open. On the east end near the boat landing, the men’s restrooms in the Rock Elm Shelter were open this morning but not the womens. The restrooms outside the Chateau are still closed.
The pit toilets near the first parking lot on near the East Bluff Trailhead remains closed.
South Shore
Let’s start here at the CCC parking area. Here, the pit toilets are open but the main Group Camp restrooms in the shower building are still closed.
In the south shore day-use area, the pit toilet on the far northeast corner by the parking lot (near the railroad tracks) is open. Near the beach, both the Tamarak Shelter and Red Oak Shelter restrooms are open. Note that the White Oak Shelter restrooms on the beach near the boardwalk is closed. All other shelter restrooms in south shore day use are closed including the one by the playgrounds.
The restroom by the south shore boat launch parking area is open.
Everywhere Else
Well, the Steinke Basin Pit toilets are closed. That’s a bummer! Most other locations are closed because they are in closed areas such as the campgrounds and Parfrey’s Glen which remain closed at this time.
REMEMBER, things change, but this is where we are at at 9 am on Thursday June 4th. I hope this helps with your planning for the weekend!
Oh, and I know what you’re wondering… and I did pretty much go through a bottle of hand sanitizer this morning!
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.
