Door County, Wisconsin

Povided by the Door County Visitors Bureau
SPRING/SUMMER 2009

Named one of the top ten vacation destinations in North America by Money magazine, Door County, Wisconsin, offers scenic seaside experiences in the heart of the Midwest.

Surrounded by Lake Michigan to the east and the bay of Green Bay to the west, this 75-mile-long peninsula combines natural beauty and outdoor recreation with acclaimed performing arts, renowned galleries and shops, and pampering accommodations.

With more than 300 miles of shoreline and lots of green space, outdoor recreation opportunities in Door County are plentiful. Five state parks, ten historic lighthouses and more than 30 beachside parks provide the option to be active or just enjoy the sights. Climb to the top of a lighthouse and snorkel or SCUBA dive among 19th-century shipwrecks.

Painters, potters and performers abound in the peninsula's quaint waterfront villages and on Washington Island. Door County is well known for its nearly 100 galleries, museums and acclaimed performing arts troupes and venues.

No visit to Door County would be complete without sampling a traditional Door County Fish Boil. This Scandinavian tradition dates back to the county's lumbering and fishing heydays and mixes locally caught whitefish steaks, onions and potatoes in a large kettle. The meal is cooked outdoors over an open wood fire and is highlighted by a fiery “boil over” which sends flames soaring into the air and signals that dinner is ready.

But be sure to save time to enjoy the tranquility offered by less energetic pursuits. Stroll along the scenic shoreline. Pick a pail of delicious cherries in July or a basket of crunchy apples in September.
