Washington Island

When I first went here several years ago, I thought it was very helpful that we rode on a little train called ‘The Cherry Train.’ On this train, driven by a tour guide, we learned about all the different sites to be seen on the island. We also went to an emu farm and saw some llamas too! Also we went to this beach which had round stone on the shore instead of sand; our tour guide said this was really rare!

I just got back from a trip to Rock Island State Park, which necessitated driving trough Washington Island. I was really impressed by how much there was to do on the island! We had a great lunch at Nelsen’s Hall, and I fell in love with the Stavkirke. We also spent some time at Little Lake, Schoolhouse beach, and made the climb up the lookout tower. Door County in general is beautiful and historical, and Washington Island is no exception!

if you want great meals (though pricey – but worth it) try the washington hotel for dinner. also if you are in the area, try a local fish boil – delicious

Make sure you go to the exotic petting zoo.
