Hugging the shores of Green Bay between Egg
Harbor and Sturgeon Bay, the Bay Shore
Blufflands Nature Preserve is a grand landscape
filled with scenery straight out of a picture
postcard. Wind-swept fields, towering pine
forests, ephemeral wetlands and springs,
cobbled lakeshore and stretches of rural open
space along Bay Shore Drive all contribute to
the beauty of this special place. But the
“must-see” feature of the preserve is the
spectacular view from the Blufflands’ most
significant natural feature—the rugged rock
bluff of the Niagara Escarpment. The escarpment
runs like a spine down the entire length of the
preserve and provides not only breathtaking
scenery, but also a highly specialized habitat
for many plants and animals.
