October is one of the most magical months to visit Wisconsin Dells. The waterparks are quieter, the crisp air rolls in, and the landscape glows with fiery reds, oranges, and golds. Add in local harvest festivals and Halloween fun, and you’ve got the perfect fall getaway.
Where to See Fall Colors
- Devil’s Lake State Park – Just 20 minutes from the Dells, its bluffs offer panoramic views of forests glowing in full color.
- Mirror Lake State Park – A peaceful spot for kayaking or hiking under bright canopies.
- Wisconsin River Scenic Overlooks – Short drives and hidden pull-offs give you river views framed by autumn trees.
Local Fall Festivals
- Downtown Wisconsin Dells Fall Festival – Mid-October brings live music, craft vendors, and seasonal treats.
- Pumpkin Patches & Hayrides – Local farms around Baraboo and Lake Delton offer corn mazes, apple cider, and wagon rides.
- Halloween Events – Haunted houses, ghost tours, and trick-or-treating downtown keep the spooky spirit alive.
