An hour north of Madison is Devil's Lake, one of the most popular state parks in Wisconsin. As part of my project to explore close-to-home attractions that I've never seen, I chose a perfect, low-humidity, cloudless summertime day to visit.
This lake was originally part of the Wisconsin River. When the glaciers came along, they deposited a moraine to the east and another on the north, forcing the river to take a different path. Because of the moraines, the remaining lake has no outlet.
Today it is the quintessential northwoods Wisconsin lake.
