Hidden Gems: Pine Hollow

Pine Hollow is an amazing sandstone canyon just southwest of Devils Lake. It is a State Natural Area owned by the Wisconsin Chapter of the Nature Conservancy and as a result climbing, along with a host of other activities, is forbidden - be sure to check that whatever you are planning on doing is allowable before going.

The map below should give you a decent idea of where to park and where to head from there:




According to information posted at the site a strong tornado touched down in the area a few years ago and did some real damage. As a result there are quite a few downed trees in the canyon which adds a certain challenge to getting around. All-in-all it is worth spending an afternoon at Pine Hollow wandering around and seeing what there is to see.
