Meanwhile at Devil’s Lake State Park
At Devil’s Lake State Park you and your family can help catch and tag Monarch butterflies which are just starting to migrate south for the winter. The results will be recorded with MonarchWatch.org. The naturalist will provide the nets and monarch tags. This program is great for all ages. Meet at the Steinke Basin Parking Lot at 1 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
Whatever you do this weekend, have fun and most of all, stay safe out there!
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.
