Nature and landscape
Mirror Lake State Park
Mirror Lake State Park surrounds a lake with steep edges, marked rocky slopes and a natural retreat identity. The trails follow the water and then sink into the slopes, giving an effective alternation between the softness of the water and the relief.
Nature and landscape
Devil's Lake State Park
Devil's Lake State Park The Baraboo chain with sandstone cliffs and a glacial memory that can be read at each summit. The trails are varied, from simple to demanding, and show why this site is a reference to Wisconsin.
