Activity itinerary

Door County Coffee & Tea Co. (Pass by)
As you begin your journey, you’ll pass this cosy coffee roastery, where the scent of freshly brewed coffee drifts through the air. A local favourite, this family-run business has been perfecting its small-batch roasting process for years, offering some of the best coffee in the county.
Door County Maritime Museum (Pass by)
Driving through Sturgeon Bay, you’ll spot this waterfront museum, which stands as a tribute to the area’s long history of shipbuilding and maritime adventure. Inside, exhibits tell the storey of Great Lakes sailors, historic vessels, and the shipyards that have shaped the local economy for over a century.
Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal (Pass by)
As you follow the canal, keep an eye out for this striking red-and-white lighthouse standing tall above the shoreline. Built in 1899, it still serves as a navigational aid for ships passing through Sturgeon Bay, a key waterway for commerce and travel.
Whitefish Dunes State Park (Pass by)
Driving past the entrance to this lakeside park, you’ll see a glimpse of its towering sand dunes, some of the highest in Wisconsin. Beneath these shifting sands lie remnants of ancient Native American villages, revealing that this landscape has been home to people for over a thousand years.
Cave Point County Park (Pass by)
Along the scenic shoreline, you’ll pass by Cave Point, where Lake Michigan has carved dramatic limestone cliffs into the Niagara Escarpment. On windy days, waves crash into hidden sea caves, sending up impressive sprays of water—one of Door County’s most spectacular natural sights.
Jacksonport (Pass by)
Rolling through this quiet lakeside town, you’ll notice its blend of historic charm and small-town hospitality. With deep Scandinavian roots, Jacksonport has long been a place where fishing, farming, and lakefront living come together.
Egg Harbor (Pass by)
Rolling into this charming lakeside village, you’ll notice its picturesque marina, inviting shopfronts, and vibrant art scene. The town’s name comes from a legendary egg fight between sailors in the 1800s, a playful nod to its lively past.
Chief Oshkosh Native American Arts (Pass by)
As you pass this small, rustic building, you might spot the hand-carved wooden figures and Native American crafts displayed outside. Originally built by Chief Oshkosh himself, this shop and museum preserve the artistry and traditions of Wisconsin’s indigenous communities.
Birch Creek Music Performance Center (Pass by)
Just beyond the trees, this historic farmstead-turned-music school hosts summer concerts where student musicians play alongside seasoned professionals. Though you won’t hear the music as you drive by, this hidden gem has been filling Door County’s countryside with the sounds of jazz and classical music for decades.
Horseshoe Bay Farms (Pass by)
Passing through Horseshoe Bay, you’ll see the historic barns and orchards of this century-old agricultural estate. Once a key player in Door County’s cherry industry, the farm remains a symbol of the region’s deep farming roots.
Frank E. Murphy Park (Pass by)
As you near the end of your tour, you’ll pass this peaceful waterfront park with a sandy beach and scenic pier. Each summer, it becomes the starting point of the Door County Triathlon, where athletes take on the challenging yet beautiful course along the bay.
Seaquist Orchards Processing (Pass by)
You’ll pass by miles of cherry orchards, a reminder that Door County is one of the country’s top cherry-growing regions. Seaquist Orchards, a family-run operation for generations, processes millions of pounds of cherries each year, producing everything from jams to pie fillings.
One Barrel Brewing Co. Door County (Pass by)
In the heart of Egg Harbour, you’ll see this laid-back brewery, a favourite stop for craft beer lovers. Known for small-batch brews inspired by local flavours, it’s part of Door County’s growing craft drink scene.
Horseshoe Bay (Pass by)
Your drive concludes with stunning views of Green Bay’s waters as you pass through Horseshoe Bay. Once an important agricultural area, this scenic stretch is now home to a mix of historic sites, recreation areas, and breathtaking lakefront scenery.
