Highlights
Outing Highlights
Sturgeon Bay channel
The channel itself is the backbone of the outing: a day on the water that lets paddlers trace the sheltered bay and choose whether to skirt park shoreline or push farther toward historic sites.
Potawatomi State Park frontage
Paddling past Potawatomi State Park offers a chance to move along protected shorelines and take in the park’s bay-side vistas from the water.
Maritime Trails Shipwreck Site
For those who want to extend their outing, routes can run toward the Maritime Trails Shipwreck Site, an evocative destination that shifts the day from shoreline paddling to exploration of Door County’s maritime past.
