Trade the ballroom for the bluffs at Devil's Lake
Picture this: you want your Wisconsin wedding day to feel magical, intimate, adventurous, and you want to be surrounded by nature and spend the day with just your partner. No timelines, no pressure, just the two of you plus nature soaking in every minute. With just you, your partner, and your photographer, you hike through the forest and explore along the lake. If this sounds like you, your perfect wedding day might just be a summer adventure elopement at Devil's Lake State Park!
Your elopement day could begin along the rocky trails at Devil's Lake State Park, where the clear water laps against the shore. Your laughter carries across the trail as you scramble over boulders and find hidden pockets of light filtering through the pines. You could have all this followed by a relaxing and tasty picnic on the beach where you can spread out a blanket, kick off your boots, and share sandwiches, berries, and a bottle of champagne while swimmers splash in the distance.
As the sun dips over the bluffs, you could be lacing up your hiking boots and packing the last pieces of your picnic into your packs to head to your ceremony spot. As you climb the East Bluff Trail in your hiking clothes and plan to change into your wedding dress and suit at the top of the hike, the lake shimmers below, and the forest is slowly bathed in a warm sunset glow. You can keep things simple, reading personal vows written in matching notebooks. No officiant, no audience. Just your words echoing softly into the trees. Sometimes the most powerful ceremonies are the ones where nothing interrupts that private exchange.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can turn your favorite trail into a wedding day… the answer is absolutely yes. Devil’s Lake is proof that adventure and romance can live beautifully side by side. Hiking at Devil's Lake offers an unforgettable backdrop for romantic elopement portraits.
