Travel By Car

Our favorite way to see Door County! The rolling hills and views of the Bay are stunning during the summer. Having a car will make your trip much more accessible.

Travel Note

Travel by Ferry

If you are traveling from Michigan, the Lake Express ferry is a great option to cut down on drive time around the bottom of the lake. There are typically two daily departures from each terminal at Muskegon and Milwaukee. The total ferry trip time is about 3.5 hours (2.5 hours to cross the lake + about 30 min on either side to load/unload your car). After getting off the ferry in Milwaukee it’s another 3 hour drive to Door County. Although it doesn’t cut down much on the total trip time, it does offer a fun way to avoid 3.5-4 hours in the car. You can follow the link above for more information and schedules.

Closest Airports

Three airports in Wisconsin can serve as your gateway to Door County. The nearest is the Austin Straubel Airport in Green Bay (about a 1.5 hour drive from Sister Bay). The Appleton Airport is the next closest (about a 2 hour drive). Milwaukee’s General Mitchell Airport is the farthest (about a 3 hour drive), but the largest of the three options. All three airports offer car rental services on site.

There are a large number of rental properties from small condos to larger homes available through these websites. Again, we recommend booking soon if you are looking to go this route as Sister Bay is a very popular summer vacation destination.
