To ignite our work supporting Devil’s Lake, we utilize a variety of fundraising programs.
Fundraising
The Friends sponsor many fundraising activities to support Devil’s Lake State Park. The proceeds from our fundraising initiatives go into our general operating account, and are used to support Devil’s Lake State Park for programs, infrastructure, park projects, and volunteer workdays.
Dedication Pavers
Personalized, engraved brick pavers can be purchased as a lasting memorial to a friend or loved one. The “dedication pavers” are installed on the North Shore leading up to the Chateau. The pavers come in three different sizes and prices. If interested please click the below link to complete the form.
Firewood
The Friends arrange firewood sales for visitors each year as a fundraiser for the park. Firewood bundles are available for $7/bundle (price subject to change). Cash and credit cards are accepted. Firewood is sold at the Visitor’s Center at the North Shore during the center’s open hours.
Scenic Viewers
Coin-operated Scenic Viewers are located at a number of park vistas:
North Shore Beach (2)
South Shore (2)
West Bluff at Prospect Point
East Bluff just northwest of Balanced Rock
Viewers allow park guests the opportunity to take in the spectacular geologic and biologic views while supporting park maintenance. Friends volunteers collect the coins from the viewers biannually and funds go directly to the Friends.
Gift Shop
The Friends gift shop is located inside the Park Visitor Center on the North Shore. The gift shop includes a variety of Friends and park merchandise to remind you of your trip to Devil’s Lake State Park, or show off your Friends pride! Sales of t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, magnets, caps, drinkware, and other items directly benefit the Friends. The gift shop is open when the visitor center is open.
“Wish List”
Another way you can support the Friends is by helping cross off items on our “wish list”! We’ve set up two Amazon wish lists, one to support our Halloween Extravaganza and a general wish list of items to help us with our volunteer activities. Head to Amazon and click on our list to see what we could use. Purchased items will be removed from the list and shipped to Devil’s Lake State Park, S5975 Park Road, Baraboo, 53913.
Items can also be purchased at other stores and marked as “purchased elsewhere.” Check back often as items may change! We appreciate your support!
If you’re interested in helping purchase infrastructure items, such as bike racks, kiosks, and playground equipment, please contact us!
