Please note that fireworks are prohibited on all DNR-managed lands. This includes state parks, forests, and state-owned public hunting and fishing areas. Anything that flies or explodes is considered a firework. “Snakes” and sparklers are allowed, but always ask a ranger before using anything that may be questionable. – Read General Camping Rules. In addition, our part of the state is currently in severe drought conditions so you’ll want to be extra careful out there.
Also, remember that this will be a busy weekend at Devil’s Lake State Park. Please be patient and respectful of other visitors.

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.
