YOUR MIDWEST VACATION DESTINATION
Named by Money Magazine as one of the Top 10 Vacation Destinations in North America, Door County has long been known as the Cape Cod of the Midwest. With five state parks and 10 lighthouses framed by over 300 miles of picturesque shoreline, this 75-mile long peninsula combines pristine scenery and unsurpassed outdoor recreational activities with acclaimed performing arts, renowned galleries and shops, and pampering accommodations.

Midwest Living Magazine voted Door County the Best Small-Town Getaway in the Midwest in 2007. Small wonder that more than 2 million visitors each year claim this jewel as their own and make Door County a part of their family tradition.

No trip to Door County would be complete without experiencing the fiery spectacle and delicate taste of one of our popular fish boils, followed by a piece of our signature cherry pie.

Sample a little of everything the Door has to offer but be sure to save time for the simple pleasures, such as a picking a pail or two of cherries or taking a sunset stroll along the beach with someone special.

Spectacular! A must! If you do not stop at Cave Point County Park, you will not truly know Door County!
