2019 Free Adventure Hikes

A few years ago, I created Devil’s Lake Adventure Hikes as a way to get out from behind the website and share with you, in person, the many awesome and inspiring locations around the park that are rarely seen by the most of park visitors. These guided hikes take you to “backcountry” locations include waterfalls, historic locations, amazing geology, and wide open vistas.

Since I started Devil’s Lake Adventure Hikes, I set up a series of free hikes, one each month, during the summer. It’s time to announce the hikes and the schedule, so here you go!!

The new Sandstone Overlook hike is a 2-3 hour hike which will be created by you. We will explore various locations along the way to some amazing overlooks. Participants will help me plan routes and stops for future hikes in this area.

How To Sign Up!

We can only take 10 people per hike. We will put 4 on back up list.

These hikes have grown very popular and most will book up on day one. This year our registration date MONDAY, MAY 6, 2019. Registration is simple, just send an email to [email protected] after Midnight, on Monday, May 6th with the subject “Adventure Registration” Include your name, email address, the hike you want to go on and how many people in your party. I will confirm your registration via email within a few hours.

Rules

• Registration must be sent after Midnight on May 6th. Requests sent before midnight (Sunday, May 5th) will not be accepted.
• We will take the first 10 to register for each hike (by time and date of the email) plus 4 backups.
• Maximum of 3 participants per group/email, unless this is your immediate family.
• You may participate in more than one hike, but you must send a separate email for each hike. (So one email for Bear Falls, and another for South Bluff, etc.)
• You must be 18 to register. Kids must be at least 15 or above for all hikes but the Hidden Village Hike. Kids must be accompanied by an adult parent or caregiver.
• Participants must sign a waiver to participate.

Final Word

Of course, your family or group are always welcome to book a private hike or business outing anytime. We do quite a few hikes each year. However, if you can get in on one of the free hikes, it’s a lot of fun. We always have a great group and a great time.

Keep in mind that these hikes are all “backcountry”. There are no trails and we go rain or shine. If you come, bring your adventurous spirit and your bug spray! Learn More: FAQ | What Should I Bring?
