| BadgerSummitSeeker | Hiked Bluff Trail | |
| Climbed up to the top of the bluffs many many times. Love hiking the bluff trail and have ascended from both sides a number of times. I've lived within an hour of this park for most of my life so it will always be a special place for me. Love it! | |

| Holsti97 | Midwest SP Outing Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| My wife and I hiked to the top of the bluffs in search of the Poison Ivy Rock and other SP members. Biked around the park and down the Ice Age Trail. First visit to the park despite living in Wisconsin my entire life. Met up with George (Alpinist)and others from the Chicago Mountaineering Club in the evening and had a nice visit discussing mountains and Summitpost. Will definitely be returning to this park. | |

| Did my first legitimate climbing there. Great stuff. Devil's Lake also has some of the best hiking in the area. I've been there in summer and fall and it's always gorgeous. | |
