One of the most visited sweet spots in Wisconsin, Door County is that thumb jutting out into Lake Michigan. It’s famous for its cherry growers and fish boils, as well as the long coastline and natural beauty. Throw in historic lighthouses, sea kayaking, hiking, camping, charter fishing (salmon and trout), totally local dining (no fast food joints north of Sturgeon Bay), theater and arts, breweries, wineries, and cideries, and even an old-school drive-in theater, and you’ve got a vacation wonderland.

Kayaking is one of the many outdoor activities available. Kevin Revolinski
