Together We Can Reach Our $10,000 Goal!
Dear Friends,
We all know that Devil’s Lake State Park is a special place in Wisconsin and the Midwest. In times of economic stress, the outdoors is a gift that keeps on giving, asking for little to nothing in return. The nonprofit Friends gives back to the park, providing much-needed support for Wisconsin’s most visited state park, and today, we can use your help raising funds for everything we’re working on for 2026, including providing free programming for individuals and families of all ages, abilities, and income levels.
Your contribution will help the Friends:
T
Receive grants to make accessibility improvements to day use and camp areas, like new fire rings and picnic tables
Increase accessibility of park facilities and amenities
Fund trail maintenance projects
Purchase trailhead kiosks
Assist with buying and installing bike racks at key park destinations
Improve playground facilities and equipment
Sponsor 40+ free cultural, educational, and environmental programs
Install interpretive displays, like the history of the Panoramic Resort at the
North Shore entrance
Offer 3 free Music in the Park events, one in June, July, and August
Host the popular Halloween Extravaganza, where 400 pumpkins are carved and hundreds of hikers enjoy a torchlit stroll through the Northern Lights Campground
Provide free yoga in the park every Saturday during the summer
Organize volunteer work days, like North Shore tree mulching, litter pick-up, and Earth Day cleanup
…and so much more!
Please join us in closing out 2025 as we work to reach our goal of raising $10,000 to fund park improvements for 2026! Working closely with park staff, we aim to increase accessibility and universal access to campsites, picnic areas, and other park spaces for visitors to gather and enjoy those beautiful summer days at the Lake, while also improving wayfinding and visitor orientation. We also provide quality programs that bring together a diversity of visitors and residents at this special spot.
Your tax-deductible contribution helps our organization meet its mission. We know that budgets are tight this time of year, but we also know that together we are stronger. Together we can keep Devil’s Lake State Park the crown jewel of our 125-year-old Wisconsin State Park System. Your donation of any amount will go a long way. Thank you for supporting the Friends of Devil’s Lake!
