Wisconsin has some of the most beautiful state parks I have ever visited, and Whitefish Dunes ranks high on the list. The beach has soft sand, the aquarmarine water is cold and refreshing. The isolation of the Door peninsula means that even on a Sunday in July, there were not a lot of people there. My girlfriend brought an inflatable raft with an anchor and spent hours in the water. Even mid-summer, the polar vortex is still having an effect: I did not want to submerge my junk in the ice cold lake and I so I happily read and napped on shore. I love Wisconsin: a yearlong pass to the WI state parks has been a great investment.

Beautiful long beach set in a cove. Seems like you are on a exotic island. The sand is perfect(soft) and the water clear. Great place for the kids as well.

This is one of the best beach experiences we have ever had and we lived in Hawaii for 4 years. The waves were large enough to break(good for goofing around or boogie boarding). It’s a gentle slope with perfect sand. We had a strong breeze coming off the lake on the hottest day of the year in Door County so we luxuriated in the sun without being too hot! If you want to bring a pet you’ll have to walk around a mile on a well packed trail before making it to the«dog beach.»

One of the Top 20 beaches in the country. You don’t need to know much more. But still… It’s a State Park, so you’ll have to pay an entrance fee; don’t let it discourage you: the place is really beautiful. And you can use the sticker all day long: kill two birds in one stone(um, that’s just a figure of speech — leave these seagulls alone please) and get into Peninsula State Park afterwards. Long, pristine sand beach with a swimming area. Open(partially) to dogs. Hiking trails.

Thanksgiving is an interesting time to be in Door County. The national parks are lovely especially the one where you’re guaranteed to be safe from buckshot. I came to Whitefish Dunes State Park on Thanksgiving for a hike before dinner. Since hunting isn’t allowed here, the trails were free to roam and explore. I hiked on the yellow trail which went up and around one of the biggest dunes. The trails are nicely groomed and well maintained. The trail markers are extremely clear as well. Also, there are plenty of restrooms along the trails too. I really enjoyed my hike through here and love this park in general.
