Fall Color Report for Oct 28 – Nov 4, 2021

The slow roll of 2021’s autumn color change continues. This week there is still a lot of colors out there to enjoy, and surprisingly, still a lot of green as well.

Let me start off this week by offering you a video drive through Devil’s Lake State Park’s North Shore shot just two days ago.

As you can see, there is a lot of nice color on the park’s north shore. In fact, there are a lot of nice colorful areas around the park. At the same time, some areas are really burning out and others, such as the south shore valley, are still pretty green. It’s a big mix out there! Here are some more photos…

Here is one more video taken on a section of our Baraboo Hills Scenic Drive. This 3-Minute video starts on Messer Road, then continues down the bluff on Owen Park Road.

So as you can see, there will still be a lot of nice colors around the Baraboo Hills this weekend.

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.
