Get away to the Baraboo Hills this fall
Looking for a quiet place to get away from it all and savor fall colors? Point your compass to Baraboo.
The Baraboo Hills glow with vibrant colors each October. Attractions such as Devil’s Lake State Park and Ski Hi Fruit Farm offer panoramic views of the autumn canopy.
Devil’s Lake is Wisconsin’s most-visited state park. But the crowds lessen in fall, affording an opportunity to hike the bluffs to Balanced Rock or Devil’s Doorway in peace. You can also enjoy the views from the water aboard a canoe or kayak!
Ski Hi is popular not only for its apples, ciders and pies, but for its ample activities. Enjoy a wagon ride through the orchard. Grab a basket and pick your own apples. Stroll through the petting zoo. Or grab a bottle of Ski Hi Rye, find an open picnic table and take in the view in silence.
That’s not the only spot to quench your thirst in the bluffs. Just down the road from the orchard and the state park, Tumbled Rock Brewery & Kitchen offers craft beer, outdoor dining and live music. It’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Another hop, skip and a jump down the road you’ll find Balanced Rock Winery, which pairs its distinctive flavors with breathtaking views. Buy a bottle and a shareable cheese plate as you watch autumn set the landscape afire.
