Pack up the car for an adventurous regional road trip!
In today’s world, the way we travel has changed significantly. Consider more road trips or regional getaways to really get to know your country and seasons. Door County, Wisconsin sits on the finger of the state of Wisconsin. Loaded with Scandinavian character, night skies so dark you can see the Big Dipper with ease, crystal blue Lake Michigan water and endless outdoor trails and parks, plan a visit.
In light of COVID, everyone’s travel options have changed dramatically. If you live in the Midwest, or even a bit further, you might want to consider a road trip to Door County, Wisconsin. Often called the Cape Cod of the Midwest, Door County is about 70 miles long and 18 miles at its widest point.
Visit Door County in the summer to enjoy Lake Michigan or one of the many lakes or bays, or do a long weekend in the Fall to witness spectacular colors. Door County has 34 outlying islands, the largest of which is Washington Island which sits at the tip of the thumb of Wisconsin. You can take a ferry to Washington Island every hour to enjoy its 35 square miles of beauty. On the ferry ride, you will cross Death’s Door passage, which is where Green Bay (home of the Packers) and Lake Michigan meet. This treacherous water passage has many Native American folklore stories of French explorers and fur traders. There are shipwrecks from the 18th and 19th centuries!
