Snow

Winter’s not quite done yet.

As of Tuesday morning, the recent storm covered the Devil’s Lake State Park region with about 7–10 inches of snow across the park.

That gives us at least one more chance to see the park in its winter form. At the same time, temperatures are rising, and we’re expected to reach near 70°F by Saturday.

If you’re heading out this week, trails are snow-covered and slippery. As things melt, expect icy conditions on the bluff trail stairways, along with mud in areas like Steinke Basin, the Uplands Trail, and the route from Sauk Point over to Parfrey’s Glen.

Stay safe out there. ❄️🥾

For nearly 30 years, 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 out of 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.
