(September 18, 2022, 9:07 pm)A hidden gem in Baraboo.
Easy, Moderate and Advanced hiking.
Wear waterproof hikers or boots.
Approx. 1 hour round trip.
Mid-Sept visit, mid-morning. It was high 70s to low 80s, so the temp was tolerable since most of the hike is well shaded. We visited on a Sunday, which we find is best since the parking lot here is very small and there's less visitors that day. If you sleep in too late you'll end up parking along the ditch outside the park.
We were fortunate to make this visit the day after a solid rain came through. There was good water flow down the creeks and small waterfalls could be spotted throughout the hike.
It's about 20-25 minutes to hike all the way back to the largest fall. To get there you'll need to cross the creek several times by stepping on large stones and fallen tree limbs. To see the largest fall you'll need to climb several large boulders.
I would recommend wearing tall hiking boots or something waterproof in case you slip a couple times.
(August 7, 2022, 10:34 am)This place was great. We will return. Not too crowded (hard to find a place like that in August). The walk was short to the (very) little waterfall but the walk there is worth it. There is not an actual trail for most of the hike. You'll find yourself climbing rocks and walking through the stream. So, wear the right shoes, bring a hiking stick. I wouldn't suggest it for elderly or children under 2 unless you carry them. (State Park sticker gets you in).
(June 20, 2022, 11:16 am)Was a wonderful day trip for us on Father's Day. Small parking lot which floods onto the highway, where about 30 vehicles were already parked. Hiking was intermediate level at times, but good for the kids (ages 8-11) to advance their skills. Beautiful scenery. And the 10-15° drop by the cliffs is welcomed.
(May 29, 2022, 11:39 am)Great hike with moderate difficulty! Soo much greenery to be appreciated here as well as some nice rock formations. I recommend shoes with grip as you are walking and climbing over rocks. I am unsure how long the trail is as I stopped a little after the mini waterfall. Overall a great place to check off your list of hikes!
(April 10, 2022, 3:36 pm)A nice hike with a beautiful canyon. Wear shoes that grip well and be prepared to hop rocks across a shallow 1 foot deep stream. If you miss step you will have wet feet. The first part of the walk is easy but when you get to the short canyon you will have to climb up and down rocks. It is well worth it. The ice age trail also passes through here, so you can hike the trail if you don't want to hike the Glen.

What Other Say: Google User (23/04/2018 07:29) An outstanding place for a hike. You can follow the steam up quite a ways, but need to climb rocks. Lots of fun, but be careful.
