Getting around
Walking works well for downtown Baraboo and nearby local attractions, though the hillside setting means you should expect some slopes. A car is the easiest way to visit Devil’s Lake State Park, Wisconsin Dells, Cascade Mountain, and other destinations beyond town. If Devil’s Lake is on your itinerary during a summer or fall weekend, leave early: its parking areas can fill quickly.
