Devil’s Lake Needs Your Help

As the Midwest’s most visited state park, Devil’s Lake State Park serves a tremendous number of visitors each year, and generates significant revenue for the Wisconsin State Park System. However, Wisconsin State Parks operate on a shared revenue system, so Devil’s Lake shares its revenues with the rest of Wisconsin’s park properties, leaving only a small portion returned to Devil’s Lake State Park.

The Friends help the park stretch their dollars through grants, fundraising, and direct donations/contributions to help protect its natural resources and increase the quality of visitor experiences. We are a member-based organization. We give back to Wisconsin’s biggest - and busiest - state park using our minds, muscle, and money. We invite you to join us!

What We Do

Our tagline is “giving back with our minds, muscle, and money.” Through those three core areas, we sponsor educational and cultural programs, host stewardship workdays, and raise funds for park improvements. Be part of our mission by becoming a member, volunteering, donating, attending an event, purchasing a dedication paver, or showing your love through the purchase of merchandise and souvenirs.
