The last glaciers to visit Wisconsin diverted the course of Skillet Creek, a tributary of the Baraboo River on the north side of the Baraboo Hills. Meltwater from the glaciers then cut through layers of fine Cambrian sandstone creating the gorge known as Pewits Nest (locally, Pee Wees Nest). A State Natural Area, it is named for a crude dwelling built in the gorge by an early settler. The dwelling is said to have resembled a Phoebe’s nest, a bird then known as a peewit.
