We are meeting near the South Beach parking lot at Devil's Lake State Park at 1:30 PM. This is not the main entrance.
We will hike up the East Bluff, see balanced rock and then go to Devil's Doorway once we reach the top.
Then we will hike the Bluff and come down on the North side, walk to the North Beach, then walk the base of the West Bluff over Tumbled Rock Trail. We will complete the trek around the whole lake and walk the boardwalk near the South Beach as we make our way back to our cars.
This trek takes about 2 hours when not stopping often for breaks and photos so with a group, I would expect it to be about 3 hours. The East Bluff is an incline of about 55 flights of uneven stairs. There are no railings. Wear good shoes.
Kids/Families are welcome. Just know that this is about a 5 mile hike and it is not stroller friendly.
For anyone that wants to do only half of the trip, I recommend a second vehicle parked at the North beach so you don't have hike back on the railroad tracks.
