This survey is designed to help the Wisconsin Climbers Association understand climbing at Devil’s Lake State Park. It gathers information on climbers’ spending, demographics, Leave No Trace practices, and climbing habits to help the WCA understand more about climbing at this popular park and the benefits it has on the local economy.

We know people come to Devil's Lake to climb, but we don't have data about who they are or where they come from. Your responses will help WCA:

• Measure the financial impact of climbing on the community

• Understand climbers' habits and commitment to Leave No Trace principles

• Support climbing access and advocacy efforts with solid data

• Better advocate for climbing in Wisconsin

Anyone who climbs at Devil's Lake, whether independently or as part of a guided trip. If you're spending money on food, lodging, gear, or other expenses while climbing here, your input is valuable!

You can take the survey every time you climb at the lake!

The survey asks about:

• Your climbing activities (bouldering, trad, or guided trips)

• How often you visit Devil’s Lake to climb

• How much you spent on food, lodging, gear, etc., on your most recent trip

• Your awareness and practice of Leave No Trace principles

• Basic demographic information to help us understand who is climbing here

The data will be compiled and analyzed to provide insights into how climbers support the local economy. This information can help WCA advocate for climbers, support climbing access, work with local land owners/managers, and promote responsible climbing practices.
