Autumn at Devil's Lake State Park

Devil's Lake is a popular destination when the leaves turn color. The many trails, vistas, bluffs, and maple, birch, oak, hickory, sumac, and other deciduous trees provide spectacular fall scenery.

On a sunny day, the sky-blue lake contrasts with the golden forest.
