An awe-inspiring autumn
Autumn is golden in Baraboo, from the fluttering leaves atop the bluffs at Devil’s Lake to the lager pouring at craft breweries.
The rolling, tree-topped hills of the Driftless Region make Baraboo an ideal spot to take in fall colors. Devil’s Lake State Park offers recreational opportunities of all kinds, from hiking to kayaking to rock climbing. Your reward for scaling the bluffs is an unparalleled view of the Baraboo Hills’ colorful tree canopy.
As long as you’re in the neighborhood, why not visit Ski Hi Fruit Farm? This charming apple orchard atop the hills offers a “you-pick” option and a petting zoo. On weekends, charity groups grill bratwurst outside the farm store as shoppers snap up candy apples, fritters and pies.
Seasonal favorites abound in Baraboo. Just down the road from Ski Hi and Devil’s Lake you’ll find Tumbled Rock Brewery, which serves craft beers alongside lunches and dinners. If you enjoy live music outdoors, you’ll love Tumbled Rock.
And if you appreciate craft beer, you’ll also want to visit Al. Ringling Brewing. Located just a block of Baraboo’s quaint downtown square, this German-style beer hall was inspired by a long-lost Ringling family beer recipe. Try the Oktoberfest!
Next door to where the Ringlings once housed their famed circus, Driftless Glen Distillery is becoming an attraction on the Baraboo Riverfront. Driftless Glen pairs its award-winning spirits with gourmet meals.
Local wineries pair their distinctive flavors with breathtaking scenery. Baraboo Bluff Winery rests west of the city, delivering a panoramic view of the hills as they explode with color. Balanced Rock Winery is perched near Devil’s Lake, serving its homegrown whites and reds as visitors gaze at yellows and reds.
There’s something for everyone in Baraboo during every awe-inspiring autumn. Lovers of the outdoors will enjoy not only Devil’s Lake, but the Baraboo Riverwalk. This 3-mile paved path along the bubbling Baraboo River is a favorite among walkers, cyclists and anglers. If motor sports are more your speed, check out Sauk County’s extensive network of ATV/UTV trails: 1,500 miles’ worth!
