THE NARROWS, DELLS OF THE WISCONSIN
One hundred feet deep. The river seems almost to be running on its edge hemmed in by ponderous rocks.

The points of interest usually called to the attention of visitors by the guides follow:
Angel Rock on the right is a rugged projection, curiously shaped. The imagination will easily transform this lofty crag into a huge angel with outspread wings. It is sometimes called Marble Rock, from the rounded sandstone pebbles on the ledge and in the river.
The Swallow's Home is where the swallows live. During the nesting season thousands of these birds may be seen occupying innumerable holes in the side of the cliff.
The Jaws of the Dells, the entrance proper, are guarded by High Rock and Romance Cliff, two immense rocks standing as sentinels to the waterway.
