Dip Into the Devil’s Punchbowl for a Cool (and Maybe Paranormal!) Experience

Rebecca Mennecke |

Check out the Devil’s Punchbowl outside Menomonie (off 410th Street southwest of town) for some spectacular views and fresh air. Rumored to be a playground for ghosts, fairies, gnomes, strange orbs, and trolls, this scenic location is perfect for a day out bird-watching, hiking, photographing, or spending date night with your honey. The Devil’s Punchbowl contains a stunning waterfall and was formed by post-glacial flooding. Just bring along some shiny stones or Skittles candy to appease the trolls! And remember to physically distance yourself from both other human beings and mystical creatures.
