Beautiful nature trails at the Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve near our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast

Visit the Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve

One of the best things about the location of our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast is that it’s close enough to everything for an easy and relaxing getaway. Yet, you’ll feel a million miles away in your own nature-infused paradise. There are plenty of great attractions nearby, but when you need an extra dose of Mother Nature’s beauty, we recommend you head to the Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve on Lake Michigan. 

Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve is located near the coastal town of Port Washington, about 30 minutes from our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast. Not only is it a gorgeous way to experience the beauty of Lake Michigan, but a trip to Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve is a great excuse to enjoy lunch or dinner and some time in the charming town of Port Washington. 

Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve represents one of the last undeveloped stretches of land along Lake Michigan. Visitors enjoy endless views of these crystal clear, blue waters from the ~100-foot-tall bluffs that dominate this landscape. 

There are also several trails throughout the Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve that wind through the different ecosystems, including lakeshore, wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands. The trails include bridges over the gorge for viewing and those that lead down to the beach so you can stroll along the shores of Lake Michigan.

The area is also next to a wildlife management area, which is a fantastic place to enjoy birdwatching and wildlife viewing. During the peak spring migration of birds along Lake Michigan, more than 20 species of warblers can be found throughout Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve! You can also see other bird species from the boardwalks, such as Rails, Least Bittern, Green Heron, Pied-billed Grebe, Ring-necked and Wood Ducks, and more. From the bluffs, you can see other species, such as loons, herons, and other waterfowl, and in the fall, this is a great place to witness the fall raptor migration.
