Choose your own adventure: - Explore Wisconsin’s most-visited state park - Take in the circus in the Ringling Brothers’ hometown  - Stroll through a historic downtown straight out of a Rockwell portrait. If you visit Baraboo, you won’t have to choose. But you might not be able to do it all in one day. Devil’s Lake State Park lies just south of town, affording breathtaking views of the Baraboo Range for those willing to hike the top of the bluff. While hikers and climbers navigate the rocks, paddlers and swimmers glide through the tranquil waters below. Devil’s Lake is an ideal spot to camp, but make your reservation early! Baraboo was the site of the Ringlings’ first circus performance more than a century ago, and the show goes on daily each summer at Circus World. Located on the riverbanks where the circus impresarios launched their touring show, Circus World presents two big top shows daily. On June 14, Baraboo will celebrate its circus heritage with a Big Top Parade through the downtown streets. Those very streets are home to an eclectic array of specialty shops and restaurants. Downtown Baraboo’s architecture makes it a historic site, but its enticing selection of destinations – from a toy store to a day spa to an old-fashioned soda fountain – make it a bustling business district. If you find yourself parched after a long day of hiking, shopping or cheering on circus performers, Baraboo has you covered. This community is home to three wineries, two breweries and an award-winning distillery. Not to mention Baraboo Oktoberfest, which takes place at Circus World on the second-to-last Saturday of September. Which adventures(s) might you choose? The good news is you can choose them all. The bad news is that you just might need to spend an entire weekend. Check us out online and visit us soon! https://baraboo.com/
