A Quick Tour Of North Door County

Bo & Molly gave us a quick tour of some interesting places in North Door County. Here is a summary of just a few of the stops we made during our four hour tour. A person could easily spend two weeks touring & enjoying the County & there would still be lots left to see & do on return visits!

Our first stop was at Hyline Orchard. 45°4′21″ N 87°15′27″ W

This is a family operated business that grows cherries and apples. They have a store that sells fresh fruit and preserves and baked goods! We bought a cherry pie that I am really looking forward to digging into! Their store was really cool!

Our next stop was at Fine Line Designs Gallery. 45°10′28″ N 87°9′29″ W

The entire area has many artists, sculpturers & craftspeople. This particular place had many interesting kinetic steel sculptures & beautiful paintings, glassworks & other interesting pieces inside. Bo & Molly’s dog Reilly enjoyed the butterfly chair.

Next along the way was Al Johnson’s restaurant in Sister Bay.  45°11′24″ N 87°7′14″ W

This is a really neat place with a grass roof that is tended by a small herd of goats! Needless to say, they draw a lot of attention from passers by.

Another stop along the way was Cave Pointe County Park. 44°55′48″ N 87°10′23″ W

This place is on the eastern (Lake Michigan) side of Door County. The views are spectacular.
