Dells of the Wisconsin River, Sandstone canyon in Wisconsin, United States
The Wisconsin River flows through deep sandstone gorges forming a natural corridor with walls reaching heights of 100 feet along its course.
The natural forces of glacial melting and erosion sculpted these sandstone formations over thousands of years, creating the current landscape of the region.
Native American tribes inhabited the area for generations, utilizing the river system for transportation and establishing settlements along its banks.
Visitors can explore the canyon through guided boat tours that operate from March to November, offering views of the geological formations from different angles.
Several sections of the canyon walls have remained untouched by direct sunlight for more than 50,000 years due to their depth and orientation.
