Bonanza Camping Resort

A north woods morning + an Ice Age landscape? Yes, please. Here’s a memorable day trip you can do while staying at Bonanza Camping Resort. Ice Age Trail – Merrimac Segment (Merrimac, WI) is a favorite nearby hike with options for different adventure levels: • Go big: around 8 miles on the Merrimac Ice Age Trail • Go shorter: about 4.4 miles on part of the Devil’s Lake Ice Age Trail You’ll be walking through terrain shaped by glaciers—classic Wisconsin Ice Age scenery that makes every mile feel a little more epic. A quick note worth knowing: this area holds deep Indigenous roots. Devil’s Lake is known to the Ho-Chunk Nation as Tee Wákąčąk (“Sacred Lake”), and there are sacred effigy mounds throughout the surrounding park. If you want to learn more while you explore, Friends of Devil’s Lake State Park often hosts educational programs and cultural events, including presentations from Ho-Chunk Nation members.
