Whitefish en Papillote
Fresh olives and tomatoes combined with bright lemon and salty capers give this classic Lake Michigan catch a Mediterranean twist, a perfect followup to a day spent on exploring cliffs and caves.
Cave Point County Park
The best way to experience the escarpment is via hiking at Cave Point County Park or kayaking along the shoreline.
Niagara Escarpment
The Niagara Escarpment is a relic of Wisconsin’s glacial period when enormous frozen glaciers up to 2-miles thick moved across the land, eroding much of the top layer of earth, carving out the Great Lakes Basin, and exposing hard dolomite rock. That dolomite and its dramatic cliffs, edges, and caves—as well the hundreds of rare and exquisite plant and animal life that it houses—are what bring many eco-tourists to the Door County area. Via kayak or hiking trail, visitors can get up close to the escarpment and marvel at the enormity of the rock mass, its geological significance, and its otherworldly beauty.
