We went around the corner to the old, now unmarked, parking area and found the signs to the trails were still there! Yay! We assumed it was still OK to park here, and the signs provided some reassurance. The park is as peaceful as ever, and they have now finished the restoration of one of the lighthouses and are letting visitors in. The late fall wildflowers were lovely. Don't miss this peaceful place for a woodsy walk in Door County.

Beautiful little Glen Arbor has rapidly become a serious tourist destination and, with tourists,…read morecomes a need for certain things. Things like public bathrooms, visitor information, a place to meet up, rest your weary feet etc. Glen Arbor Gardens meets those needs and does so in a beautiful and restful setting. Located on the site of the old firehouse right next door to Art's, Glen Arbor Gardens is the culmination of years of hard work and thousands upon thousands of dollars in donations. Conceived of and led by the Glen Arbor Garden Club, this space meets all of our little towns needs to accommodate visitors and creates a beautiful public space at the same time. Boasting much needed public restrooms (open seasonally, 6 months of year), local information kiosks and picnic tables, this is a great stop on your visit to Glen Arbor. It was beautifully landscaped by Russ Clark, so it really is a lovely place to sit and rest or make plans for your day. Congratulations to all involved in creating a much needed and lovely area that will be utilized by visitors and locals alike.

Overall, if you're…read moreinto scenic views, challenging walks, even going to the beach too or are just a avid adventurer this is the place for you. Me and my wife basically did the Dune Climb which was very extraordinary which I reviewed on a separate page. This place was very well maintained with very minimal trash. The dunes were very scenic and even the people were very friendly too. I have never seen water looks so clean and beautiful before. Getting into the beach can be a bit painful with all those rocks just stabbing your feet. I absolutely had an incredible time here regardless. I highly recommend checking this place out if you ever have to chance!

Empire Bluff Trail is a 1.5 mile roundtrip hike but if you want to be a rebel, you can make this…read moreover a 5 miler by continuing on the well marked trail past the guard rail. The trail can take you all the way to an area called Treat Farmstead which is what we did. The trail starts off in a parking lot and well marked trail map. There's a slight incline up through a wooded area to the bluffs. Off to the right hand side not to far along your journey you will see an old logging saw of some sort that was neat. Once you get through the forest (maybe 0.5-0.75 miles) you end on the sandy bluff over looking Lake Michigan. The views are absolutely stunning. Seeing the shoreline from high above was amazing. After we took it all in, we made our way along the trail to Treat Farmstead. The trail is pretty sandy most of the way as you go up and down the bluff. We actually saw an Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake along the way (see picture). I had no idea they had poisonous snakes this far north. Apparently they are very rare. You end up back into another wooded area before it opens up again with a different but equally beautiful view of the shoreline. In the forest we found wild apple trees that according to Google you can eat. Don't take my word for it though. I'm no expert so if you go all Chris McCandless from 'Into the Wild' eat one and die don't hold me liable. Definitely worth going the extra distance and checking it all out just be prepared to get a lot of sand in your shoes.

Anyway, this is a great place to visit if you're new to the Green Bay area and want to learn more about what this city has to offer. Did you know: Skee ball was invented in a small town just outside of Green Bay? This and other facts will be revealed to you when you visit the visitor center. You can also play some skee ball for free, as well as pick up some free brochures and a piece of candy, if you're nice. The visitor center is also the place to get some Green Bay-branded swag, including t-shirts, hats and lots more. Outside of the visitors center was a cool car parked on the sidewalk, and I learned that it was borrowed from the Automobile Gallery. The cool car was a DeLorean! Pretty neat.

I made it through the entire walkthrough and back! No need to pay that $3,000 SOS fee. Overall,…read morethis climb and walk was definitely a challenge that I was not prepared for. I recommend if you come here you do this barefoot but you might step on a few things like what I did but thankfully it didn't completely slice my foot open. I personally think it was harder going up the mountain starting to course to the beach but it was a little bit more easier on the way back. I just followed the markers. There are 28 of them ( technically 27 but I consider the beach 28) you will be going through tons of inclines and decline through sand! I highly recommend drinking water the entire time. Thankfully it did not rain throughout my walk but I would imagine it would make this a lot more harder to get through. It took me about an hour to get one way and about 50 minutes heading back. If you're just try going to the top of that mountain and if that was a giant challenge I highly recommend not following that trail.

Scenery: Gorgeous…read more Climbing Dunes: Holy s**t!!! Ive always been athletic and in shape enough to handle even tough tasks. This was different. I knew once I reached the too of the dune and looked down. People at the bottom were like ants, it was a birds view! As I headed down I was battling myself on how idiotic this was, but it was easy enough going down and kids are doing it. What could go wrong? A lot. Started next to a man probably 10-15 years older than myself, he started chatting me up, pumping me up, I soon realized he was sociopathic. He took to that hill with the simplicity of a fish swimming. I stopped a good 30 times, for some reason didn't bring water and I was drinking earlier. Less than halfway up, I started doubting if I was going to make it. All is well that ends well, I made it to the top of the hill. He was up there asking what happened very snidely, I wanted to throw them back down the hill.
