Door County is a unique place and one of Wisconsin’s top travel destinations. The county sits on a peninsula jutting out into Lake Michigan, and it has 300 miles (482 km) of coastline. It is an ideal destination for exhilarating things to do, such as water activities and hiking through one of the 5 state parks. Visiting some of the 11 lighthouses in the county is also a worthwhile pursuit. It’s the perfect place to connect with nature, and for those traveling with pets, there are lots of places to explore outside.
