Door County has long been a favorite vacation destination in Wisconsin, with quaint lakeside towns offering plenty to do for every kind of traveler.
Everyone has their favorite spots and traditions, but there are a handful that rise to the level of must-do for all visitors — those only-in-Door County things that define the peninsula. From fish boils to the Cana Island Lighthouse, check these things off your Door County bucket list on your next visit.
Fish boil
This is one of those only-in-Door-County things that is a must-do, even if you don’t like fish. Watching the fish being prepared is half the fun anyway. A master boiler prepares it in a large kettle outside over an open flame, finishing the performance by pouring kerosene on the flame, causing a massive fireball and boil over.
