The area is peaceful and rich in scenic vistas. The County invites you to embark on a retreat you will find yourself exploring over and over again. The beautiful cliffs, a geological wonder known as the Niagara Escarpment, are located on the east side of the Lake and are not only magnificent to view, but provide for a glorious panorama of the Lake and surrounding areas. High Cliff State Park, located in Sherwood, boasts this spectacular natural feature and has a tall observation tower for which to view the Lake. This area is always a popular attraction, especially in summer and fall. High Cliff State Park is the state’s third most popular park.
