BARABOO WISCONSIN DEVILS LAKE STATE PK, Era Autos, Tourist Camp, KROPP WB c1920s

Description: Devil’s Lake State Park is a state park located in the Baraboo Range in eastern Sauk County, just south of Baraboo, Wisconsin. It is around thirty-five miles northwest of Madison and is on the western edge of the last icesheet deposited during the “Wisconsin Glaciation”. The state park encompasses 9,217 acres making it the largest in Wisconsin. The state park is known for its 500-foot-high quartzite bluffs along the 360-acre Devil’s Lake, which was created by a glacier depositing terminal moraine that plugged the north and south ends of the gap in the bluffs during the last ice age approximately 12,000 years ago. The sand at the bottom of Devil’s Lake, is thought to be deposited by glaciers. There are many quartzite rock formations, such as Balanced Rock and Devils Doorway, throughout the park. Its scenic beauty, along with its proximity to the Wisconsin Dells, has made it one of the most popular of Wisconsin’s state parks for both day use and overnight camping, receiving over three million visitors annually. The park was founded in 1911. It was home to five resorts, two of which were perched on the west bluff. There were also many private residences in the west and south shores with only four remaining. At various times the lakeshore hosted water slides, lodges, ferry boat launches and golf courses. By the 1940s, the hotels were closed, and the Park retreated to its former natural self.
