Fire Road Boulder is a bouldering area in Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The Firepit and South of Fire Road each about 0.1 mile away and Dreamo's Bluff about 0.2 mile off. The Fire Rhoad Bluff is a similar distance. The area is a bouldering destination, with six routes all rated on the V scale. The easiest are Fern N Burn and Right Arete at V0, and the hardest is Fire road five at V5. Middle Line is V2, and Dyno is V3. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Baraboo show July highs around 83°F with lows near 60°F, while January highs average about 28°F. That station sits roughly 500 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run a bit cooler. For a walk, the Iat - Devil's Lake-Baraboo Connection is about 0.9 mile away, and the Iat - Devil's Lake Segment is about 2.9 miles off.
