Five stars, and this is based on a one day visit, of approximately 3 hours!…read more We were heading home from our stay at Peninsula State Park, and stopped in to check it out, since I had never been here before. What a lovely park! We picnicked down by the boat launch, which looks out over Sturgeon Bay and Sawyer Harbor. Our view actually consisted of two islands and the homes thereon. There is a shelter, of sorts, very near the boat ramp, and we learned that it is actually a place to process your catch....there are metal tables there to do what you need to do. After eating, we drove through the park to take in the sights and get a feel for it. We headed up to the tower, and as of our visit, it is still closed. We continued to the Old Ski Hill Overlook and got out to take some photos. We drove through more forest and ended up at the Nature Center and Park Store. Here you can rent bikes, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. You can also pick up a souvenir or two, or some snacks. We made a pit stop at the toilets (flushable and with nice showers) before heading out and on our way home. This park is located within a decent distance of Sturgeon Bay, but is also remote enough that you won't get the sounds of the city disturbing you at night. It is an easy drive up the peninsula from this location, and day trips are definitely doable. The only downside, as others have mentioned, is that there is no beach at this park. If that is a deal breaker, there are 4 more state parks in Door County to choose from. I don't know if we will ever camp here, but I can definitely say that I am not opposed to another visit! 49/2022

Not sure how to rate this as I have never done a polar plunge before. The event is well organized…read more They have had 34 years to get it right. The beach is crowded with crazy people waiting to jump into frigid Lake Michigan on New Year's day. First comes the count down, then hundreds of brave souls bolt for the water only to come charging back out grabbing towels and jackets trying not to freeze stiff. My experience was a little different from most. Like everyone else, I charged in. The frigid water felt like needles piercing my skin. I got about knee deep and dove in. It was a real shock. This was the unusual thing that most don't experience. When I came up I nearly passed out. I was so dizzy I did a double dip as I fell over into the water again. I made it back to shore and quickly dried off and adorned a jacket. I can truely say this was a once in a lifetime experience.

It is a great event to watch, but I can honestly say I would never participate.

I appreciated that it had flexible hours and is a free dog park (suggested donation box avai). This is the biggest dog park that we've been to compared to the ones in IL and it's free! The park has 2 different areas that are gated and a place in the middle of the park if you want to switch over to the other gated park. Both parks are huge but the one to the right feels slightly bigger. The parks have dog bowls laying around for water and toy boxes available to use as well. Poop bags are available and it is encouraged that people pick up and toss their dogs' poo out in the trash on the way out. I stepped on poo the first time I came here and that was not pleasant...the 2nd time I came here, I didn't step on poo but there were poop bags laying around. It would be nice if people just picked up and threw away their own dogs' poop. Other than that, the park is overall clean. We'll be back if we are in the area again!

The sign is not very visible and comes up sneaky. The park has ample parking and open area at the far end. There is a small playground and a building I assume held restrooms. The dam creates a small lake with its ADA compliant fishing pier. You can walk across the small dam and explore the creek downstream of the dam. The Ahnapee Trail runs through this park. We saw a family loading up their bikes after a day on the trail. A nice enough park that is worth the detour off of highway 42.
