Devil's Lake State Park is 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Baraboo, WI and contains over 29 miles (46.7 km) of hiking trails. The Johnson Moraine Loop is 2.8 miles (4.5 km), but plan on hiking a total of 6 miles (9.7 km) if you park at the Highway 113 lot and take the Ice Age trail over to the Johnson Moraine Loop. Devil's Lake State Park is the largest state park in Wisconsin, extremely busy in season, but quiet on January weekdays. On this hike I did not see another person on the trail.
