Take a quick detour off the beaten track to visit Ellison Bluff County Park. It is just a few minutes off ST 42 outside Ellison Bay. Park and make the short walk to the viewing platform that overlooks Sturgeon Bay and its northern islands. Walk out on the fenced lower platform for an even better view of the escarpment, bay...

Get a view from on high. Water for nearly as far as you can see. A great place to bring a lunch or do a cook-out in nature. More

Here is one of the top five views in Door Country. This is a small park with a large woodland. Other than walking in the woods, the main thing here is a short drive into the park, and a series of steps and seating areas offering great views of Green Bay from the top of the Bluff. You are over... More

The turn off from Hwy 42 is about halfway between Sister Bay and Ellison Bay. Signs were easy to follow. The dirt road up to the viewing area... More
