Attractions in Door County

Cherry blossoms are a main attraction in Door County and an experience that you can explore via segway as you travel through fields of white-flowered trees. Highlighting the rugged rock formations, distinct stone cliffs and turquoise calm waters, these are best seen when sliding by zipline. What better way to see more views than while sipping wine in a vineyard? There are 8 wineries here for relaxing, making memories and soaking up the sun. There are 11 lighthouses in this county with some being easier to spot than others. Peninsula State Park is a highlight of Door County with its hikes through the unique terrain and lakeshore views of the clear water perfect for a friendly rock-skipping competition.

Hop on a Ferry to Washington Island

Cruise by ferry to see the most popular of the 34 Door County islands, Washington Island. Stop by Schoolhouse Beach, with its uniquely smooth stones, to reconnect to nature's beauty. The island's lavender fields, featuring horizon-spanning purple, are another must-see in Door County.

Something for Everyone

With unique Wisconsinite traditions across the peninsula, explore all the classics including a fish boil, sipping on an old-fashioned at a supper club or cruising along Wisconsin’s most winding road. While experiencing these traditions, just taking in the calm waters and peninsula sunset backdrops is an adventure all its own.
