Visit Rock Elm Shelter, Devil's Lake State Park, Wisconsin
The boom of dynamite explosions echoed throughout the Devil’s Lake valley in the late 1800s. Quarries operated within a stone’s throw of the lake and another location about a half mile past the group camp area. Work camps sprang up and trains hauled the shattered quartzite away. The quarries were last used in the 1930s when the Civilian Conservation Corp used quartzite stone to build the park headquarters, the Rock Elm shelter and the ranger headquarters.
