Devil's Lake State Park
Glacial Geology of Devil's Lake

Take a glacial journey that begins at the nature center, descends a terminal moraine, passes Indian effigy mounds, and ends at the edge of Devil's Lake. Along the way, learn how a river was changed into a lake by a glacier and how the glacier affected the land and the people who would eventually inhabit the land.
