Pecan-Crusted Salmon with Lingonberry Sauce
Buttery pecans encrust fresh-caught lake salmon, and a sweet, tart lingonberry sauce lends a Scandinavian feel.
Backpacking & Hike-In Camping at Rock Island
Ever dreamed of packing a bag and heading to a remote island to live outdoors for a few days. Rock Island is your chance.
Rock Island
Get in the car. Drive to the northern-most point of the Door peninsula. Take the car ferry to Washington Island. Drive or bike across the island, past the verdant green farms and lavender fields. Ditch the car at Jackson Harbor. Hop a second ferry. Dock. Step onto a wooden pier and finally make landfall on the wooded isle. Reaching Rock Island State Park may feel like a one-person relay race, but it’s an incredible place that is unequivocally worth the journey. Tour a rustic Icelandic boathouse, trek through an old-growth forest, visit a centuries-old lighthouse in the woods, take in panoramic lake and shoreline views, and listen to freshwater waves as they lap against an ancient shore.
