The only accessible sandy beach with fairly high waves in the immediate Green Bay area.

This is a fav or mine. An old friend took me here years back. An o-how I miss her so... but she…read moreshowed me many beautiful places like this one and I still to this day enjoy them all and when I think....Of her, even tho she is gone- I can't help but smile & sorry God took u away from me and all around. But u blessed many- like me- with parks- nature- church-grounding. I miss u- I live u ~always~ There is a parking lot on Both sides of the park along with picnic tables and grills it's a great place to hang out with your kids in the summer when it's warm they can play in the stream. Highly recommend this place one of the many gyms in and around Green Bay for parks It's beautiful. So peaceful and so grounding. . A little waterfall and area u can walk down to the river. I will add photos that do not do this park justice. There is parking in both sides of the fall. A great place to hit up and have a little lunch before u head into door county. Until the next review- Yelp Steve O out

Just because I give this place three stars doesn't mean it is unworthy of a visit…read more This is a pretty 25 foot water fall that tumbles over the Niagara escarpment onto an accessible river bed. Two small parking lots on both ends of the park give barely ample spots to leave your car for the easy walk to the falls. There is a foot bridge that crosses the top of the falls allowing you to look down on the falls. A major highway is a stone's throw from this bridge. At the other end of the park it a rustic stairway that takes to down to the river bed and gives you a nice view of the falls. Interesting that there are a myriad of padlocks on the stairway steps. This park also includes a statue of Jean Nicolet, who was a French fur trader and made first contact with the local tribes. There is also a historical marker with information about his experience of the local area. This is a nice spot to visit; but you'll share your time there with a lot of people. While this is a pretty spot worth your time to visit, I hesitate to give this place four or five stars. If you give this place five stars, what do you give Big Manitou Falls or Amnicon Falls? Bottom line, this is a pretty spot worth the time to visit. Take the time, there is no such thing as an ugly waterfall.

Cave Point County Park is a beautiful destination known for its dramatic limestone cliffs,…read morewave-carved rock formations, underwater caves, and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Its unique natural beauty makes it a must-see attraction for both locals and visitors. During our recent trip to Door County, where we spent a few days enjoying the fall colors and sightseeing, we stopped by Cave Point County Park, and I was so impressed! You don't even have to walk far from the parking lot to enjoy the scenery. Some of the best views are right there! I loved watching and listening to the waves crashing against the limestone cliffs. It was absolutely mesmerizing. I could have stayed there for hours, simply relaxing and enjoying nature. And the best part? It is even free! Here's a fun fact: the park has the first solar-powered restroom in the county park system. However, my advice is to avoid using it unless you really have to! There's no flushing toilet system, and the restroom was smelly and the floor was wet. I won't take away any stars for that, though. I'll just pretend I never used their restroom! I don't want something man-made to take away from the wonderful experience that nature has created. If you're visiting in late October, be prepared for some chilly winds coming off the lake. I'd recommend dressing in layers and bringing a warm fall jacket. We visited mainly for sightseeing and photography, but there's so much more to do here, including hiking, fishing, and kayaking (check their website for more information). You can even host a wedding at this beautiful location! All in all, Cave Point County Park is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!

So we were here the other day when the stars aligned and there was an engagement proposal happening…read moreat the same time as teenagers cliff diving and a kayaking tour floating by. Epic! Cave Point is one of those places you just have to see when you're in Door County. The views are incredible, the waves crashing into the limestone cliffs are mesmerizing, and there are plenty of spots to stop and take it all in. Whether you're hiking, kayaking, taking photos, or just enjoying the scenery, there's always something going on. We got a little bit of everything in one visit, and it made for a memorable stop. Definitely a must-see Door County destination.

Looking for a little peace and quiet in Door County? Whitefish Dunes State Park is a wonderful…read moreplace to kick back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan! Pack a picnic lunch, beach towel, blanket, and swimsuit, and settle in for an afternoon of sunshine, sandy beaches, and waves gently rolling ashore. Ahhh, now that's my kind of afternoon! There's plenty of parking (be sure to pay the park admission fee!), restrooms, a small gift shop, vending machines, and picnic areas with grills. The dunes themselves are beautiful, although we've noticed they've gotten smaller over the years. And one little word of warning: Watch out for those seagulls! They're not the least bit shy and would happily help themselves to your peanut butter and jelly sandwich if given the chance. Please don't feed them! A beautiful, peaceful place to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and simply enjoy everything that makes Door County so special.

I'm adding in an update since my last review was 4 years ago, but please also see my previous…read morereviews. This is a lovely park, and since my last visit they have rebuilt the access to the beach that is near the parking lot. They've also added a blue mat that makes it easy to walk along the beach between entrance 1 and 2. The beach is beautiful and a great place to look for fossils. After climbing back up to the trail at the second access point a park employee alerted us to the presence of orange slime mold on some stumps. Apparently it is a rare phenomenon and the bright orange goop is actually a collection of harmless amoebas. I learn something on every vacation! We hiked the loop and then continued on the new connection to Cave Point Country Park which made for a really nice half day hike!

Discovered this place while using a detour south of Algoma. This is a spring fed lake that…read moreaverages 21 feet deep with 38 feet being the deepest point. The lake is 19 acres in size; and it's known for bluegills, brownies, rainbow trout and bass. Latest fishing info says trout are getting scarcer but bass are getting more prevalent. I believe it's catch and release. While we were there kids were swimming. Most of the bottom is termed "muck", while the bottom in the swimming area is sand. There are picnic tables, barbecue spots, a boat landing, a fishing pier and public bathrooms. Not much of a park (it's mostly a gravel parking lot). But the family we saw had set up tarp over one of the picnic tables and were having a great time. A nice place to take the family, swim in the lake and beat the heat. It's off of County Road K on County KK. Electric motors are allowed; but nothing else. If you're looking for a swimmin' hole that's off the beaten track it would behoove you to find this quiet little lake. If swimming is not your bag, bring a small boat and your fishing gear

The cops need to patrol this park. Also if you have a newer car, do not park here. They like to speed out of the lot sending gravel everywhere.
