Chimney Rock is one of nature's freaks, resembling a stick and mortar chimney of pioneer times. It was fashioned by the waters as they cut this wonderful gorge.
Echo cove is submerged.
Black Hawk's Head is another curious result of erosion.
Nothing but the site is left of the ancient and weathered Dell House, once a "wild, rambling old rookery." It was the first frame house built on the river above Portage, erected in 1837-38 by Robert V. Allen and used for many years as a tavern. Here the rivermen recounted their thrilling experiences in piloting their rafts through the Dells and told of the days in the pineries of pioneer Wisconsin.
Chapel Gorge is a beautifully shaped glen on the right, named for a peculiarly shaped rock at the entrance.
Boat Cave is submerged.
Circle Bend is a half-circle in the river, the cliff of solid masonry formed of rocks high and bold.
Sturgeon Rock resembles the fish by that name. It is located on the left at the entrance to the wild grandeur of the Dells.
The Navy Yard exhibits the geological formation of the Dells in the superlative degree. Huge vessels with prows and sides and ribs of solid stone, may be pictured without difficulty by the imagination, all warring with the waters of the narrows.
Opposite the Navy Yard is Eaton Grotto, a long deep opening in the face of the cliff.
