Enjoy Snowshoeing This Winter at Parfrey’s Glen in Wisconsin

One of the best ways to explore outdoors this Winter is snowshoeing at Parfrey’s Glen Nature Area in Wisconsin—it’s located just east of Devil’s Lake State Park but technically lies within the boundaries of this popular destination. This area has been impacted by flooding over the years, so it’s ever important for conservation efforts for visitors to stay on designated trails.

Parfrey’s Glen is Wisconsin’s first State Natural area and unquestionably the most visited state natural area outside Devils Lake State Park. There are many distinctive features to Parfrey’s Glen; the Glen itself reaches a depth of nearly 100 feet and encompasses a beautiful stream flowing through its floor. The walls are sandstone embedded with pebbles and boulders of quartzite—something you should see up close!

Before you start setting your winter recreation plans, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and our Baraboo Bed and Breakfast is one of the coziest places to stay in Wisconsin. Our six guest rooms offer the perfect reprieve after trekking through the snow-covered trails. You can warm yourself by the fire, put your feet up, and enjoy a glass of wine in the historic ambiance of the Ringling House Bed and Breakfast. Get your reservation on the books today!

Things to do at Devil’s Lake State Park This Winter

One of Wisconsin’s most beautiful nature areas is the ever-popular Devil’s Lake State Park, and just because the temperatures drop and this stunning landscape gets covered in snow doesn’t mean the activity slows! There are so many fun things to do at Devil’s Lake State Park in the wintertime. So bundle up, grab your snowshoes, and head to the park!

From snowy hikes and snowshoeing to cross-country skiing and ice-fishing, there’s no shortage of fun to be hard at Devil’s Lake State Park this winter. While the park is open for all of these activities, it is advised that people use caution and wear the proper, weather-appropriate gear, and get the conditions before heading out. When there is snow, the Steinke Basin Loop trail is periodically packed for more accessible travel—it is open to all non-motorized users, including skiers, hikers, and snowshoers.

The only thing better than exploring out in the snow at Devil’s Lake is retreating back to our Baraboo Bed and Breakfast after your chilly adventure. The historic Ringling House B&B is such a lovely getaway, only about ten minutes from the park entrance. While the park is known as a popular camping destination, why not secure yourself a charming suite with a cozy bed, electric fireplace, and a beautiful breakfast, homecooked with care each morning?
