Fall Colors?

Well, it’s a little early to start chasing fall colors here in the Devil’s Lake State Park region, but it won’t be too long. Here are a couple of photos taken this week along the Merrimac Preserve hiking trails on the southeast corner of Devil’s Lake State Park.

Here in the Baraboo Hills our “peak” color usually arrives around the second or third week of October. BUT nature doesn’t follow our plans! That’s why we post weekly color reports starting in just about a week. Stay tuned!

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.
