Door County is the thumb of Wisconsin. The straight of water between Green Bay and
Lake Michigan is very turbulent and dangerous.
It is littered with shipwrecks.
The French named it the Door to the way of Death – or simply Death’s
Door.
Limestone from the Niagara Escarpment is visible along both
shorelines of the peninsula. With the
completion of the Sturgeon Bay Shipping Canal in1881 the northern half of the peninsula
is actually and island. Door County is
nicknamed the “Cape Cod of the Midwest” because of its 298 miles of shoreline. Fish boils, lighthouses, beaches and ice
cream draw tourists from around the country.
Orchards of cherries and apples add to the flavor!
