Last summer, my photo assistant and I stepped away from a shoot near Madison, Wisconsin to explore Devil’s Lake State Park—and it did not disappoint.

We climbed over massive quartzite boulders to reach Balanced Rock and Devil’s Doorway (and made it back in one piece). Situated along the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, the park offers sweeping views from 500-foot bluffs overlooking a 360-acre lake. Well worth the detour.
