Baraboo

Home to gorgeous lakes, towering mountains, and cascading waterfalls, Baraboo is an excellent small-town destination for those avid about the outdoors. During the day, head out to Devil's Lake for kayaking, hiking along the shores, or even rock climbing and bouldering some of the best rock in Wisconsin. If you're looking for a more relaxed outdoor adventure, head to Pewit's Nest for a leisurely, shaded hike to a waterfall. After a day outdoors, return downtown to try your luck at Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells Casino, see lynxes and llamas at Ochsner Park & Zoo, or even spend the afternoon at Circus World, which features both an expansive circus museum and live performances.
