Happy Friday! Your weekend mission, should you choose to accept it... If you're looking for…
Sometimes the hike out to our Devil’s Lake State Park “Critter Cams” is quite the workout! But it’s worth it!
This week we pulled a camera that’s spent the whole summer deep in the wilds of the park. There were over 1000 photos on the card! Well, I’m not even close to done sorting them, but here are just a few shots that stood out at first glance! Remember, you can click on them to see the larger pic!
Critter cams are always a great opportunity to remember that Devil’s Lake State Park is home to a vast community of wildlife. The crowds, the traffic, the trash, the noise, and even the light we make at this very busy park can’t help but have a negative impact on the critters that call the park home. We can’t help but wonder where they stand on the park’s priority list? Wildlife numbers are declining around the world and we should be taking note.

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.
