Hit the trail for a dramatic look at Wisconsin’s geologic past. The impressive bluffs, valleys, waterfalls, and lakes of Wisconsin’s state parks provide more than beautiful scenery and recreational opportunities. They are windows into the distant past, offering clues to the dramatic events that have shaped the land over billions of years. Author and former DNR journalist Scott Spoolman takes readers with him to twenty-eight parks, forests, and natural areas where evidence of the state’s striking geologic and natural history are on display. In an accessible storytelling style, Spoolman sheds light on the volcanoes that poured deep layers of lava rock over a vast area in the northwest, the glacial masses that flattened and molded the landscape of northern and eastern Wisconsin, mountain ranges that rose up and wore away over hundreds of millions of years, and many other bedrock-shaping phenomena. These stories connect geologic processes to the current landscape, as well as to the evolution of flora and fauna and development of human settlement and activities, for a deeper understanding of our state’s natural history. The book includes a selection of detailed trail guides for each park, which hikers can take with them on the trail to view evidence of Wisconsin’s geologic and natural history for themselves.

Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ...having a fall on this portion of its course of seventy feet. The tributaries on the south side of the Wisconsin, in this section of its course, are of little importance, owing to the nearness of the limestone divide. The most noteworthy is Duck creek, which with its branches drains a considerable area in the towns of Pacific, Springvale and Courtland, in Columbia county, cutting a long way back into the divide. The following tabulation gives the altitude of the water surface of the Wisconsin at prominent points from the source to the mouth: The average velocity of the river below Portage is remarkably uniform and is just about two miles per hour.1 The daily discharge of of the river at Portage in times of extreme low water is about, 250,000,000 cubic feet.'-The average fall of the water surface of the river below Portage is 1 feet per mile. General Warrren, from whose report3 this statement is taken, very truly says that this rapid fall, were it not for the great amount of sand in the river-bed, would make the stream a series of pools and rock rapids; so that, whilst making; a great obstruction, the sand reallv gives the river what navigability it possesses. In subsequent pages are given a number of geological sections across the valley of the Wisconsin below Portage. The profiles of these sections are reduced from the profiles given in the atlas of Gen. Warren's report, and the geology has been added from my own observations.
