WELCOME TO DOOR COUNTY NORTH
A
vacation should be on your terms, at your own pace. Your exploration of Door County North provides you with the
rarest of luxuries – time. Uncrowded and relaxed, you find
time to explore pathways of interest that lead you to welcoming small town life or a nature trail in a protected landscape. Visit the studio of one of our many master artists housed in a historic building or nestled in a garden. Breathe in our beautiful land and water vistas at every turn. Enjoy a picnic in one of our 14 parks (including a shoreline state park) and delight in the varied tastes of our fine waterfront restaurants and relaxed cafes. Stay at a resort, a secluded cabin, B&B, or even in a tent. And, if you'd like to claim a part of this northern paradise as your own, local builders and realtors can make your dream home come true. A slower pace doesn't have to mean sleepy. Further expand your horizons with a workshop in folk art or fine cuisine. Experience Door County North's maritime traditions through a visit to a museum, a charter fishing trip, or just simply watch commercial fishermen hauling in their daily catch. Miles of biking, hiking and cross-country skiing trails combine sport with unparalleled scenery. Choosing to visit Door County North makes your trip uniquely yours. It's no wonder we say, "Find Yourself Here." Welcome! The People of Door County North
