Cana Island Lighthouse is Door County’s most iconic lighthouse, built in1869 and celebrating more than 150 years of standing watch on the shore of Lake Michigan! Walk the causeway to the island if the water is low enough, or if the water is high, ride the hay wagon! There is much to explore on the island. Check out the interpretive center and museum, the 89-foot-tall lighthouse with light keepers home, and climb the 97 steps of the tower’s spiral staircase to reach the lighthouse gallery deck for sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the Door County peninsula. Then, be sure to find your way to the shoreline where you will see, hear and feel the sheer power and vastness of Lake Michigan!

The Ridges Sanctuary is named for its distinctive topography – a series of 30 ridges and swales formed by Lake Michigan retreating over the past 1100 years. The Ridges has a robust interpretive center explaining the unique topography, flora, and fauna that live within the dune ridges and swales. From there, explore the Range Light buildings and walk the trails to experience first hand what you saw in the Nature Center. The Ridges campus boasts 1,600 acres in and around Baileys Harbor. In recognition of its rich diversity, The Ridges Sanctuary has been designated as a Wisconsin State Natural Area, a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service, a National Audubon Important Bird Area and a Wisconsin Wetland Gem. Go ahead, take a “forest bath”. It will soothe your soul!
