Things To Do
General Advice
Door County is a collection of little towns along one of two main roads: Highway 42 and Highway 57. Below, we wrote down some of our favorite activities around the peninsula and some places to to eat, drink, and shop. We hope you enjoy! P.S. Alex really wanted everyone to understand the geography and distances to/from places, so it takes about 45 minutes to drive from Egg Harbor (the first "big" town in Northern Door County) to Northport (the tip of the peninsula).
