Understand
Considered the Cape Cod of the Midwest, Door County is situated on a
peninsula on Lake Michigan and is a very popular destination for
vacations. The peninsula offers a unique mix of leisure, recreation, and
natural beauty. The culture has a rich history of the arts, with more
than 80 cultural establishments within the county, including galleries,
museums, and theatres. Many offer courses to enjoy while vacationing
there. For the nature lovers, Door County offers five state parks, over
300 miles of shoreline, and more than a dozen conservation areas. The

Do
Washington Island is a must-do adventure! Get on the ferry at Northport
Pier at the tip of the Door County Peninsula--It's $10 per person, and
$24 for a car roundtrip. I recommend not taking a car, but once on the
island, walk just a short distance to Annie's Rentals and rent mopeds
(get there early before they sell out). They're $90/day, and well worth
the splurge--best splurge we've made on vacation ever! Very easy to
drive, even for someone who's never drove a motorcycle--if you can ride
a bike, you can drive these. Spend the whole day driving around the
island--very romantic and fun adventure!
