The Best Things to Do in Wisconsin Dells

While now the Dells are typically thought of as a hot new vacation spot, there is a rich history that made the community what it is today. It’s properly named, “Wisconsin” being the Native American word for dark rushing waters and “Dells” being French for layers of flat rock. Even in 1856, as the city was just beginning, it was already thought that the unique yet romantic scenery of the area would keep it a getaway spot for years to come. The Dells are full of outdoor adventures just waiting to be had. Connecting with nature and the great outdoors is one of the best ways to create memories with the entire family. Get out there, explore, and experience what made the Dells popular to begin with! 

Rock climbing 
You don't have to be a professional to have fun rock climbing. With Wisconsin Dells Rock Climbing, you get to climb at Devils Lake and Chimney Rock Park, which you will see as you’ve never seen before. You will be with an expert guide who will customize your climb to your own ability. The hills surrounding Devils Lake, also referred to as Baraboo hills, make it one of the premier rock climbing areas in the midwest. Primarily composed of granite and quartzite, these are solid climbs for the adventurer of any skill level.

Featuring steep hills, deep valleys, bluffs, two lakes, and a waterfall, this park has everything you’ll need for an action-packed winter adventure.
