Door County Geological Journey

Event Link

Join Brian Forest, Land Protection Manager and geologist, on a geological journey through the forests of the Door County Land Trust’s Lautenbach Woods Nature Preserve located on the Niagara Escarpment.

The great arc of Niagara Escarpment stretching from Wisconsin to Niagara Falls, is the backbone of Door County’s celebrated landscape. Though the surface water is long gone from this Door County Land Trust preserve, this beautiful area provides evidence of ancient glacial drainage paths for the Plum Bottom area, south of Egg Harbor. Caves and enlarged rock crevices, coupled with springs that outlet below the escarpment, provide a great example of the classic sinkhole/spring complexes that are so prevalent throughout Door County. Descend the Niagara Escarpment and enjoy Door County’s seasonal wildflowers as well as intriguing discussion on glacial geology, karst features and challenges of protecting water quality in sensitive areas.
