Pewit's Nest State Natural Area.

Pewit’s (sometimes known as “Peewee’s” nest) is a natural gorge cut by a small stream called Skillet Creek. It is similar in many ways to the more well-known Parfrey’s Glen to the southeast of Devil’s Lake State Park. Pewits is between 30 and 40 feet deep. The walking trail leads to the mouth of the gorge as well as a lookout area on top of the cliffs.

Pewits is located about 2 miles southwest of Baraboo on Country W. Climbing on rock walls, cliff jumping or entering the closed area for any reason is prohibited, and violators will be subject to a $175 citation. Visitors are also prohibited from bringing in food or beverage or being on the property between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Fines for violations of those rules range from $175 to $200. Visitors must stay behind the split rail fence and out of protected areas. 

Parking is very limited.  Cars MAY NOT park along the road, those parking along the road may be fined or towed.
