Devil's Lake Rock Climbing
Park rangers at Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin are advising hikers to be extra cautious and to stay on the marked trails. Since the first of the year, the Sauk County Ropes Rescue Division has been on five emergency calls from hikers who fell while rock climbing.
Walking off the trail has been the problem with the majority of rescue calls this year. If hikers get off the marked trail, they are hiking and climbing at their own risk. The park posts safety information on bulletin boards at trailheads.
