Preview Post: Devil's Lake State Park

Devil's Lake State Park is one of the state parks most visited by people I know.  It is most loved for its scenery, and there are many trails of varying difficulty throughout the park.  Devil's Lake also houses some Native American burial mounds.  The lake is clean, and many people camp here annually.

There's an unofficial travel guide website for the park at Devil's Lake Wisconsin

Preview Post: Aldo Leopold Center

The Aldo Leopold Center in Baraboo is a nature center.  It is mostly enjoyed for the outdoors, but there are also buildings that function as learning spaces and museums about Aldo Leopold, a diligent conservationist.  There are tours you can take, or you can explore on your own.

Preview Post: Augusta Wildlife Area

The Augusta Wildlife Area is a state preserve.  It's 2100 acres, so there is plenty of opportunity for outdoor exploration.  There is not any sort of playground, but there are trails.

Preview Post: The Dells Mill

The Dells Mill is a historical site outside of Augusta, Wisconsin.  It is mostly a photo opportunity, but there is a museum there as well.  It sounds like they have pretty limited hours, though, so check before you go!  I believe they are only open on Saturdays.  Their website is not very updated, so I had a difficult time finding information.
