Devils River State Trail is a 14.6-mile out-and-back hike in Wisconsin's Devils River State Trail, a state park managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is a steady climb, with a total elevation gain of 721 feet over the round trip, and the high point reaches 880 feet. The route starts at about 873 feet and ends at a similar elevation, so the climb is roughly balanced between ascent and descent. The trail is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes around mile 13.2, where the grade reaches about 7%. Plan for about 10 hours on foot, and expect the most comfortable weather from late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F and September highs near 71°F, with lows in the 50s. Several other trails sit within about 10 miles, including the Iat - Tisch Mills Segment, the Iat - East Twin River-Tisch Mills Connection and the Iat - Tisch Mills Connection.
