Whenver we go up to Door County - whether to pick cherries or to relax on Washington Island - we almost always stop at Cave Point Park to get amazed at the way the lake pounds under the shore, creating these unique "caves" down below. It's hard to get tired watching the work of waves...

Highly recommend this for family fun, probably better for older kids, not little ones. We booked a family glass blowing class with Jeremy. He is a patient, outstanding teacher. We booked a 3 hour class, he gave us a demonstration and then he worked with us on pieces. Very informative, made us feel at ease, safe and offered great suggestions on ways to make our pieces that more special. We were thrilled with the results when we picked up our pieces the next day. Everyone at the studio is very kind and the kids loved petting Whiskey, the studio dog. Now we have some great souvenirs of our trip to Door county including our own Christmas ornaments. Highly recommend and we will book again on our next trip.

Lovely state park with beach access near protected sand dunes. There are multiple hiking paths, all of which are hilly, past dunes and through woods or wildflower fields. Lots of birds and insects to observe. A lovely park for a walk, job or run. So Much Poison Ivy! But if you stay on the trails, you will be fine.

Originally designed as a City of Chicago Fireboat, the “Fred A. Busse” was built in Bay City, Michigan in 1937 and is similar to two other fire fighting vessels, the Victor Schlaeger and the Joseph Medill, constructed in Sturgeon Bay shortly after World War II. It served the Chicago Fire Department for many years and now houses a small museum dedicated to Chicago’s firefighting efforts.
