Baxter's Hollow

A hidden gem near Devil's Lake in Sauk County WI. A cooler microclimate from the encompassing hills results in northern WI plant life tucked away in southern WI.

Tons of rattlesnake plantain orchids (above) in the forested bit, along with partridge berry and clubmoss.

Along otter creek, a premier trout stream that's the cleanest in the state, one can find a lot of cardinal flower (below) in late summer.

Fern (below) diversity is quite high, and some nice patches of sedge can be found in moist areas.
