Did you move Devil's Lake and/or Milwaukee? Google Maps, plus my memories of the drive between the two, puts it at a distance of about 120 miles.

I'm not sure even the Kettle Moraine areas--either the North or South--have any such vertical rock surfaces you're looking for (but they'll be good for the picturesque natural hills and hiking trails you want). Looking at old quarries might be your only choice if Devil's Lake is too far. Or maybe even active quarries, if you can get permission. There's one in Racine near Douglas Ave. and 3 Mile Road.
