Trail Description

The Park lists this as an independent hike, but it’s more of a spur off the East Bluff Trail. But what a spur! Devil’s Doorway is probably the most iconic formation at Devil’s Lake, a beautiful example of nature’s artistry. There's no better place to watch the sunset at Devils Lake, or to pose for that "we were there" family picture for the Christmas card.

Expect climbers lurking all about the Devil's Doorway bluffs, as there are a bevy of good routes on and beneath the Doorway formation. If you're lucky, you'll get to watch a party climb the Doorway itself.

Devil’s Doorway is perhaps the most popular icon at Devil’s Lake State Park
