Door County, Wisconsin

Door County is a 70-mile long thumb-shaped peninsula on Wisconsin's eastern shore. With over 300 miles of shoreline, it has more lighthouses (10) than any other county in the United States. It is also home to the largest number of state parks (5)on the Great Lakes. Door County was named for the passage at the tip of the peninsula between the cold waters of Lake Michigan and the warmer waters of Green Bay. French explorers named it Porte des Morts (translated Door of Death) because of the number of ships which met their end in her waters. Hundreds of shipwrecks dot her floor.

In addition to parks and lighthouses, Door County is rich in history and natural beauty. Enjoy some of my favorite images.
