Two routes, a 10K and 6K, start on the East Bluff Trail, and feature magnificent views from 500 foot quartzite bluffs overlooking the 360 acre Devil's Lake. Both of these routes then continue on wooded trails, and the 10K includes a section of the Ice Age Trail. Two additional routes are offered on the west side of Devil's Lake, a 6K and 5K. The 6K climbs the west bluff on a section of the Ice Age Trail, with terrific views from atop the bluffs, and then returns on a nearly level trail right along the lake.
