Fish Creek
Door County's busiest lakeside village: galleries, restaurants, the traditional fish boil feast and sunset harbour views form the heart of a peninsula holiday.
Fish Creek is the liveliest town on Door County's western shore (the Green Bay side), right beside the entrance to Peninsula State Park. Along Main Street, 19th-century log cabins have been converted into galleries, ice cream shops and cherry product stores. In the evening, restaurants such as Pelletier's stage the traditional Fish Boil, where fish and potatoes are cooked in a large kettle, and at the end kerosene is tossed onto the fire to create a dramatic flare-up. In summer, the Peninsula Players perform at the lakeside outdoor theatre, and the Northern Sky musical is staged. The sunset over the harbour is the signature view. In peak season, parking is tight and accommodation should be booked well in advance.
