Review:

Door County is a charming peninsular region located between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, named in honor of the infamous Death's Door strait passage between the Door Peninsula and nearby Washington Island.

Visitors can explore the region's shipwreck and maritime history at the Door County Maritime Museum, which is home to several preserved historic watercraft.

A plethora of historic lighthouses are showcased throughout the county, including the National Register of Historic Places-listed Cana Island Lighthouse, Baileys Harbor Range Lights, and Pilot Island Lighthouse.

Lovely Peninsula State Park offers excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming on charming Nicolet Beach, while Newport State Park is home to a plethora of wilderness trails.

City centers such as Sturgeon Bay are home to delicious restaurants serving area classics like Belgian-style booyah stew.
