Tumbled Rock trail!

Wisconsin’s largest state park offers magnificent views from 500-foot Quartzite bluffs overlooking a 360-acre lake.

We hosted a toddler pace hike for a baby Madison hike today, and it was a blast. Devils Lake State Park is one of the busiest parks in Wisconsin except for weekdays. It was 65 degrees when we got to the park and quickly went up to 74 degrees. It was hot, but we got lucky; the trail was short and shaded for most parts, and it turned out to be cloudy. We hiked along the lake with fewer bugs, and it wasn’t humid; it was a perfect day for the toddlers to sweat.

The toddlers found a pond to throw rocks right away!

I heart my people, hike to baby, and have the most incredible adventure families ever. This is our group selfie from the selfie stand! #scenicwisconsin Armani did not want to take a picture with us, and I won’t force her; she is anti-camera.

Ten state parks now feature selfie stands; guess what? We found one at Devils Lake State Park!

We let the toddlers set the pace, and we hiked for 65 minutes one way on a tumbled rock trail, a fun trail for the little ones to explore, climb on the rocks, and hide behind the rocks.

I highly recommend this trail for families with small and big kids, but if you have a toddler like me, bring a carrier to carry them when they get tired. Kids are unpredictable sometimes, and my daughter was in the back most of the time, so the plan was for her to walk with other kids.

The tumbled rock trail was busy on our way back, with teenagers jumping off the cliff and watching out for the adults who go off the trail to climb up the trail.

What I like about this trail is that they have benches to rest under the trees, and the kids are happy to take a break and snack or look out the lake and see the people kayaking.

I love this little girl with all my heart! She promised to stay wild!

We have been so great of being part of the Hike It Baby ever since she was born; these are the people who motivate us to explore; we have made so many friends in the past three years. If you’re an outdoorsy family like us, find Hike It Baby near your area, http://www.hikeitbaby.com

Tumbled Rocks trail is dog-friendly. Dogs must be leashed constantly; all vehicles require a Wisconsin state sticker to park or pay $8 for day use. There is plenty of parking at the park, but if you ever want to try this specific trail, park at the boat ramp trailhead on the south shore. Use the coordinates for the parking (43.4128470,-89.7400262)

Location address: S5975 Park Rd, Baraboo, WI 53913
