About the event

The surface water is long gone from this Door County Land Trust preserve, but 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. Hiking boots are recommended, as we will face a stretch of moderately rocky terrain on the trip. Moderate hiking. Suitable for ages 16 and up.
