Pewit's Nest

Review & FAQ:

Pewit's Nest, located just outside of Baraboo, is another one of Wisconsin’s State Natural Areas. This nature reserve features a deep gorge that was created during the retreat of the area’s last glacier as its most dominant feature, measuring between thirty to forty feet deep. Associated with the State Natural Area are Skillet Creek, northern dry-mesic forests, and shaded cliffs, while the forest cover found at Pewit’s Nest includes yellow birch, hemlock, white pine, and red cedar. When the glacial Lake Baraboo retreated, Skillet Creek cut its way through the Cambrian sandstone, creating a narrow canyon and waterfalls.
