History
On the early maps the name OF the
lake is given as Lake of the Hills. OF
it I, A. Laphan, early Wisconsin ira
veler and scientist, wrote; "The
lake is vulgarly called Devils Lake
from the, wild, rocky place in which
it is found" The Indian name for
Devils Lake is Minnewaukan, or Evil
echoing powers and for this reason,
it is said, the Indians supposed the
bluffs to be inhabited by powerful
spirits or manitos The Winnebago
have a tradition that the buffalo clan
Of their tribe had it's origin on it's
shores.
First Visited
The earliest record of the lake be-
ing visited by a white man was about
1889 when James 8. Albin, the first
permanent settler in Sank County,
came to the bluffs.
Climbing the Mountain
Between the railroad track and
where the path begins it's ascent Of the
East Bluff, stood the Cliff House.
pioneer hotel on the shore of the lake.
In the historic structure many a noted
traveller tarried and many social func-
tons were given; Baraboo folk often
mingled with the visitors to the re-
gion. w. B. Pearl was the last land
lord, leaving the place in 1904. The
hotel, annex and other buildings were
RACED soon after.
Elephant Rock and Cave
The first pause of interest along the
scenic, twisting trail, as one ascends
the bluff is Elephant Rock. This
huge, reclining pachyderm is an un-
usual freak OF natures chisel.
Just back Of Elephant Rock is the
Cave, where may be seen some of the
quartzite boulders rounded by the
waves of the ancient Potsdam Sea.
The top OF the Guartzite, on which
the conglomerate rests, Is the old sea
shore, made smooth by the restless
waves of the dawn OF time.
Passing onward along the path from
Elephant Rock, the pedestrian will
see more of the conglomerate as he
hugs the cliff and the fantastic roots
twining in and out will not be passed
unobserved.

The Glacial Epoch

Next came the glacial epoch, when
the advancing ice from the northeast
came into the Baraboo region; this
was long time after the sea retreat
ed the last time possibly a period Of
100000 or 100000 years. Into this
gorge where probably once flowed the
stream we now know as the Wiscon-
sin River, the ice advanced to the
terminal moraine, where the visitor
descends just before reaching the
take. At the same time an
other tongue Of cold crept into the
valley between the Devils Nose and
the Lake Had the tongues Of ice adj
vanced much farther there would
have been no lake. Sand and gravel
were washed into the gorge. leaving
