Devil's Lake Wisconsin Question

I am relatively experienced for many years here and know the east and west bluffs thoroughly as well as climbing the face of the south bluff all the way up closer to the boat launch. I have never been to the far right of the south bluff or the basin. Can the basin be a route up? Is there a standard route to devils nose?

Spot the Poison Ivy

A little informative video to help you SPOT THE POISON IVY during your time outdoors. Filmed at McConnells Mill State Park in Pennsylvania.

Please feel free to share, so everyone can enjoy their time outside instead of breaking out in a rash. 🌿😄

See you outside!

Devils Fork for July 4th

I managed to snag a campsite at Devils Fork State Park for July 4th weekend (tent camping , one of the walk-in sites). We have never been, so I have a couple questions I would love thoughts on:

  1. Can you swim directly from the campsites? Or other recs of where to swim? With kids ages 4-8. I understand the main swim beach gets very crowded on weekends/holidays, not sure if there are other quieter options.

  2. Any tips on kayak rentals? I have heard you can rent them there, but I know it will be busy and want to make sure we are prepared to actually get a rental.

  3. Honest feedback on whether this is an OK time to go, given crowds/heat/bugs.

Thanks in advance! The only posts I can find are cautioning people to avoid day trips there for the 4th because of crowding. Would love any tips you have.
