Mud Season at Devil’s Lake State Park Updated March 2026. Spring at Devil’s Lake State…

Educators! We worked with Naturalist Sue Johansen-Mayoleth at Devil’s Lake State Park to put together a virtual geology hike for Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Badgerland just last week and it’s now available on the Girl Scouts Youtube channel.
You can find the 4k video at https://youtu.be/0b1igz3-H78
This 7-minute video will give kids a quick overview of the geology of the park and how the Baraboo Hills were created millions and millions and millions and millions and… Well, you know… 😉

For nearly 30 years, 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 out of 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.
