Climber Dies After Fall at Devil's Lake
A person died after falling from Devil's Doorway at Devil's Lake State Park in Baraboo, with reports placing the incident around 2:15 to 2:30 p.m. Responders faced obstacles like trees and the cliff when locating and retrieving the body. The fall occurred at the Devil's Doorway rock formation (also referenced near Balanced Rock Trail), and while some outlets reported the victim as a man in his early 20s, identification was not immediate. Baraboo Fire and Emergency Medical Services, with assistance from Portage Fire and Prairie du Sac Fire, recovered the body, with Sauk County officials and the Department of Natural Resources aiding in the search and response. Multiple local outlets confirmed the death and noted that details such as the identity were still developing. No further safety advisories were reported in the articles collected.
