The Dells of the Wisconsin River, also called the Wisconsin Dells (from Old English “dæl”, modern English “dale”), meaning “valley”, is a 5-mile (8-km) gorge on the Wisconsin River in south-central Wisconsin, United States. It is noted for its scenery, in particular for its Cambrian sandstone rock formations and tributary canyons.
The formations are divided into the "Upper Dells" and the "Lower Dells" by the Kilbourn Dam. The cliffs, some over 100 feet (30 m) big, and side canyons are closed to the public to protect sensitive ecological features.
