Green Fire is a bouldering area in Devils Lake State Park, about 0.1 mile from the Ghost Talus and White Knight climbing areas, which makes it easy to fit into a day spent exploring the park's cluster of boulders. The State Department of Natural Resources manages the land, and the area sits within the Devils Lake State Park-Iansr unit. The climbing is all bouldering, with six routes ranging from V2-3 up to V10. Among them are Green Fire (V6) and Full Sail (V10), and Pine Time, the easiest at V2-3. The names of the routes, along with their grades and the first ascents, give climbers a clear picture of what to expect on the stone. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Baraboo, about 3.4 miles away, show highs near 70°F in May and 74°F in September, while winter highs stay below freezing. Several other climbing areas lie close by, including Surprise Boulder at 0.3 mile and Meth Mouth at 0.3 mile. Hikers can find the Iat - Devil's Lake-Baraboo Connection trail about 1.4 miles away and the Northern Trails about 2 miles away.
