BARABOO — Devil’s Lake State Park near Baraboo will remain closed for at least another week while flood damage is repaired.

Elsewhere, Rocky Arbor State Park is closed to camping until Friday, when some campsites will open. Wildcat Mountain State Park is closed through June 29, and the Elroy-Sparta Trail is closed due to mudslides.
