about us

Devil's Lake Concession Corporation

Devil’s Lake Concession Corporation is a non-profit organization established in 1963. What began as a conversation among a group of golfers in the former clubhouse (now the park’s nature center) has evolved into an organization dedicated to the daily operations of all park stores and rental facilities. Our primary goal is to support the Wisconsin State Park system through funding and ensuring guest satisfaction. To date, DLCC has donated millions of dollars toward park improvements, and we remain steadfast in serving our park guests.
