Parfrey's Glen State Natural Area

Parfrey's Glen Trail
One of my favorite trails in the Driftless area!  It is unique and I haven't found anything quite like it without paying for a guided tour of Witch's Gulch in the Dells.  The moderate trail is about 1 and 3/4 mile out-and-back.  There is a dirt path for part of the trail.  If you want to reach the cascading waterfall at the end of the trail, you will need to go off the beaten path.  You will be walking through the creek and climbing over large boulders through the cavern.  Bring shoes that can get wet, and that have good grips on them.  If you are willing to make the trek, it is worth it!  We hike this trail all year long when the weather is right.  The park does require an entrance fee of $8 (out-of-state $11) per vehicle for a day-use pass or an annual pass for $28 (out-of-state $38). They are very strict about paying at this location because of its popularity.  This is located just on the edge of Devil's Lake and worth stopping at both if you have the time.
