Dells of Wisconsin Natural Area

Chapel Gorge Trail
This easy 2 mile hike is one of my favorite hikes in the Dells area.  It has a little something for everyone!  It starts with an incline hike (that can be muddy) and takes you to a pine forest, that turns over to a deciduous forest.  It then takes you to a short climb down the rocks (stone steps are inset) and to a sandy beach along the Wisconsin River.  It is a great place to spend an afternoon.  We have been here in the spring, summer, and fall; it is amazing all year.  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).
