Plan Your Winter Getaway with Attractions & Activities in Door County Wisconsin
Day One
Fluff your feather pillows, snuggle into the soft cotton sheets, revel in the warmth of your fireplace and recall you need not do a thing all day. Gaze out over the harbor as the morning sun glistens on the water. Watch the fishing boats pick their way through the ice to their docks across the harbor with the freshly caught whitefish you will enjoy for dinner. Pick up that book you have not found time to read. Strap on a pair of snowshoes to explore the rim of the harbor. Tromp into the Ridges Wildlife Sanctuary and revel in the sound of your snowshoes crunching the newly fallen snow. Return to the inn for a nap in front of the fire before treating yourself to a legendary Door County Fish Boil. The White Gull Inn in Fish Creek offers up this memorable dining experience on Friday nights in winter.
