General presentation
Door County
Lighthouses, coves, orchards and villages facing Lake Michigan and Green Bay.
Peninsula State Park, Cave Point County Park and Cana Island Light give the most telling landmarks of Door County. Together, they make up a destination where the coastline, the shores and the lakes, the natural spaces and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: important distances between certain places. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Peninsula State Park
Peninsula State Park It has a long façade on Green Bay with a combination of nature, historic villages and quiet areas. Its relief allows you to follow the coast, change orientation quickly, and feel why it remains one of the favorite areas of the Door County.
Cave
Cave Point County Park
At Cave Point, the action of the lake has carved caves and arches in the limestone cliff, offering a very changing setting depending on the tide and wind. The wooded path along the water gives dynamic framings on the turquoise cliffs.
Nature and landscape
Cana Island Light
The Cana Island Lighthouse, located north of Baileys Harbor, serves as a landmark on a coast still structured by historical navigation. Its stone architecture and island position give a concrete maritime reading of the Wisconsin coast.
Nature and landscape
Washington Island
Washington Island is a natural crossing in Lake Michigan, with a rural rhythm and an island community ladder. The island offers a break detached from the mainland coast, between open landscapes and diffuse habitat details in the landscape.
