Niagara Escarpment in Door County, Wisconsin - Lesser Known Door County

The Niagara Escarpment is a geological formation found in Door County where you can experience unique natural features and environments.

The Niagara Escarpment is a geological foundation that stretches from New York state through Niagara Falls (where it got its name) then through the Bruce Peninsula (which splits the two lobes of Lake Huron), across the lower part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, defines the geography of Door County and continues through the east side of Lake Winnebago and the Horicon Marsh to terminate in northern Illinois, where it is no longer visible. Not to be too technical, the Escarpment was formed when glaciers one to two miles thick gouged out soft shale and left harder dolomite exposed. These glaciers gave shape to the Great Lakes, the world’s largest single supply of fresh water.
