Geno - we are still working on our plans. The problem is that Lethia is going to start working for a new employer in April,,,and it is difficult to dictate requested vacation time off. We are thinking of going to Casper, Wy. first to visit Lethia's parents, then early on July 17th, take off for the Dells = 800 mile drive, so I wouldn't be in until late sunday night. We will probably have to leave early on the 22nd, to get her back to work the following week.

I need to call for my room reservation soon,,,,hopefully next to Ed, Tangled, and you so I can harass everyone. I just don't want a common wall between my room and Larry's,,,,,,Cookie will be banging the headboard all night long,

Admission Stickers
A vehicle admission sticker is required on all motor vehicles stopping in state parks and recreation areas. Some state forest and trail parking areas also require a sticker. You can buy either an annual sticker, for admission to all state parks and forests for the calendar year, or a daily sticker, valid only on the date of issue. If you have only a little time to visit, you can buy a one-hour sticker at most state parks and forests.

Buy your sticker in advance or when you get to the park.

Annual stickers for 2005 are available now and are valid from date of purchase through December 31, 2005.

2005 sticker fees
Sticker fees Annual Half price* Daily One-hour
WI resident
$20 $10 $5 $3
WI resident age 65 and older
$10 N/A $3 $3
Non-resident
$30 $15 $10 $3
Bus, Wisconsin $10
Bus, out of state $20

* Half-price annual stickers are available for additional vehicles registered to the same household address.

Stickers also are available at state park and forest entrances and Department of Natural Resources service centers. Some parks, forests, and trails have self-registration stations for payment of fees.

There's an additional $5 fee for anyone who fails to pay the fee before using the park, trail, or campsite if there's a self-registration station available.

specific info on Devil's Lake State Park...

At Devil’s Lake State Park, 500-foot quartzite bluffs tower above a 360-acre lake. Spectacular scenery, a full range of recreational activities, and a full-time naturalist make this a very popular park.

The 9,117-acre state park is 2 miles south of Baraboo and about 30 miles north of Madison.

More people visit Devil’s Lake State Park annually—1.2 to 1.4 million—than any other state park in Wisconsin. Peak visitation is during the late spring, summer and fall, when visitors can swim in or boat on the clear, 360-acre spring fed lake.

The park is a unit of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. Federal Golden Eagle, Golden Age and Golden Access Passports (exit DNR) as well as Wisconsin state park admission stickers are honored. Holders of National Parks passports receive a waiver of the vehicle admission fees, but camping fees are not affected. Devil's Lake also has a segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (exit DNR).

Devil's Lake has 29.9 miles of trails, all of which are open for hiking in spring, summer, and fall. There's a 1-mile interpretive nature trail and 1.5 miles of trail that are accessible for people with disabilities
Many anglers come to the lake for fishing--from shores or boats (electric motors only) in spring through fall and through the ice in winter. The lake is home to brown trout, walleye and northern pike, bass, and panfish. A fishing license is required for anyone age 16 or over, and a trout stamp is required for trout fishing.

There is a boat launch at each end of the lake. Boats and canoes may be rented at the park's concession. Life preservers are required for all boats, including rubber rafts.

There are two beaches totaling 3,300 feet in length, each with a bath house. Lifeguards are not provided. SCUBA diving is popular. Diving flags are required.
There are picnic areas at both ends of the lake. Two enclosed shelters and three open air shelters are available for rental. Reservations are accepted starting the first working day after January 1 each year.

Nearly 100 species of birds, close to half the total in Wisconsin, nest in the park and 880 plant species grow in the park.

Wisconsin's oldest state natural area, Parfrey's Glen, is in the southeast corner of Devil's Lake State Park. It is a special and fragile place with unique plants, animals, and geology. The area is open only from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors must stay on the designated trail. Pets, food, beverages, fires, and camping are prohibited.

Motor vehicles are not allowed beyond the parking lot off Highway DL.
All parked vehicles must have a valid vehicle admission sticker
