For those adventure seekers who are more at home outside than inside, Ellison Bluff State Natural Area is the place to go in Ellison Bay. Featuring free-face and sheer cliffs that tower more than 200 feet above the bay shore, at least two species of rare plants, 26 species of snails, 12 different kinds of beautiful and majestic trees, fossils of all kinds, and at least five species of bird, the Natural State Area can be viewed from an easily-accessible observation deck near the parking lot or from hiking trails not made for the faint of foot. The Bluff and NSA are part of the Niagara Escarpment, which began forming more than 425 million years ago.
