100 new acres to be added to Devil’s Lake State Park

Wisconsin’s most popular state park is getting bigger.

Dave Hanson with Wisconsin State Parks says 100 new acres of land at Devil’s Lake State Park could help alleviate some of the crowds during the summer. “The trails can be really busy and in some cases overcrowded. So one of the goals through this master planning process is to be able to add some additional trails and trail systems to the park.” The new property is in the north east corner of the park, which is mostly undeveloped at this point. Hanson says one standout feature will be a fantastic thirty-mile view from the high point of the new land.

Hanson says actual development of the new property will depend on public input.
