Door County stretches along a narrow peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. Waterfront villages, parks, beaches and winding roads make it one of Wisconsin's classic getaway destinations.
You can spend the morning hiking along the shoreline, wander through a small town in the afternoon and finish the day watching the sun drop into Green Bay.
Start with shoreline, parks and some of Wisconsin's most recognizable lighthouses.

A two- or three-night stay works well for a first visit. A longer trip gives you more time for parks, towns, beaches and Washington Island.
Summer is popular for waterfront activities, while fall draws visitors for foliage and scenic drives. Spring and winter offer quieter experiences.
Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, Ephraim and Sister Bay put visitors near many popular northern Door County attractions. Sturgeon Bay provides another convenient base farther south.
A car makes it much easier to explore the peninsula because towns, parks, beaches and attractions are spread across a fairly large area.
