Located in Wisconsin’s northeast corner, the Door Peninsula juts out 70 miles into Lake Michigan. With its three hundred miles of shoreline, eleven lighthouses, awe-inspiring natural beauty, and enveloping charm, Door County is often referred to as ‘The Cape Cod’ of the Midwest. With a wide array of unique shops, boutiques, art galleries, museums, and eateries, Door County offers plenty for visitors in addition to enjoying the many outdoor activities.
