This place is amazing. Please make sure you stop here at least once. The hike is nice for any person to do. I can't recommend this place enough. Beautiful trails and the view is just stunning in every way.
An awesome albeit shorter hike to the summit that provides spectacular overlooks from several vantage points. The wooded trail is well maintained, shaded and less than 2 miles from the parking lot to the cliffs and back.
The parking lot could probably hold a dozen or so cars. I went at 6am and was the only one there, making the experience that much more tranquil. Parking lot is gravel and there is no admittance cost.
Looking for that Midwest, picture prefect spot that feels like you’re in the mountains? Gibraltar Rock is a perfect spot for an engagement or elopement session. Just outside of Madison, your cell phone reception might be very limited. The hike is easy to medium difficulty, but not too many people like devils rock.
This is an underrated Wisconsin hiking spot. Great view and great fall color, and good pathways. Parking can be tough in peak season.
Fee: You need a State Park day or annual pass for your car to park.
I highly recommend going here! It’s a somewhat short hike, but the views are awesome!
A favorite place for a hike. Views are beautiful, trails are well maintained.
Always an awesome hike! Even better with the new connecting trail!
Lost my cat Willy here in the evening on September 4th. If you come to hike here please look out for him! Added pictures below. Beautiful trail and views so if you’re in the area take the time to look for him! Posters on the trailheads.
