This year’s Halloween Extravaganza at Devil’s Lake State Park is coming up on Saturday, October 25, 4–8 p.m. Bring the family for a night of fall fun at the Rock Elm Shelter on the North Shore!
4–6 p.m. Free pumpkin carving & kids’ crafts (this year’s theme: snakes!)
6–8 p.m. Torchlit hike & costume parade — we’ll light the trail with your carved pumpkins.
After the hike, warm up by the fire with s’mores, hot cocoa, and live music from Chrisco in Wisco (Chris Ehlke).
Come experience the magic of Devil’s Lake at Halloween!

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.
