Devil’s Punchbowl Preserve
- Nature reserve
- Regional draw
- Menomonie Town
Devil’s Punchbowl protects a small sandstone amphitheater and waterfall landscape in the Town of Menomonie, outside the city.

Short trails introduce visitors to the geology and woodland setting of this Landmark Conservancy property.
Use current conservancy directions and route guidance before arrival. Access into the bowl involves a long stairway and challenging footing, while the upper route offers a different perspective. The photograph shows the rock amphitheater during an earlier visit rather than present flow or path conditions. Rock climbing is prohibited; remain on trails to protect fragile slopes and adjoining property.
