1. Devil's Lake State Park
This scenic park is located in Baraboo, WI, just minutes away from Wisconsin Dells. The park is open all year, allowing you to enjoy a wealth of activities. The park is situated along the Ice Age Trail, which is a network of sites that are a testament to the area's geological history. There are cliffs that are 500 feet in height, and many of these are ideal for rock-climbing. You can swim, go mountain biking, hiking and cross-country-ski, if here during the winter. Entry fees are payable on an hourly, daily, or yearly basis.
2. Parfrey's Glen
This natural area is conveniently located near Devil's Lake. It has the distinction of being the state's first designated natural area. The glen has one of the most sensitive ecological systems in the area, so staying on the trail is required. Many of the plant species are very rare. The sandstone walls of the glen contain quartzite, a conglomerate composition that is sometimes known as "plum pudding stone."
3. Natural Bridge State Park
The 17-acre park is a site that's literally seen thousands of years of human history. Its star attraction is a 35-foot natural arch with a cave underneath it. Excavations have unearthed evidence of human habitation dating back to 9000 B.C. Hiking trails take visitors through some scenic woodland areas. You'll also find good picnic facilities.
4. Pewit's Nest
The Nest area is a bit of a secret to most visitors. It has many similarities to Parfrey's Glen. However, the area is less well-developed, and better suited to more experienced hikers. Its trails actually travel over the 40-foot gorge. Some of the trail areas can be steep or narrow, so be sure to pace yourself and be careful.
5. Mirror Lake
This lake is one of the nicest scenic areas near the Dells. The lake is very pristine and partially surrounded by the sandstone bluffs so common to the area. The summer months are ideal for swimming here. The water is calm, so canoeing and kayaking are favorite activities, as is fishing. There's a boat landing if you've brought yours to use. Picnic areas allow you to enjoy a meal, and there are several miles of hiking and cross-country ski trails.
