Potawatomi State Park
A forest park at the mouth of Sturgeon Bay, with limestone cliffs along the lakeshore, trails, and the eastern starting point of the Ice Age Trail.
Potawatomi State Park lies northwest of Sturgeon Bay, with limestone cliffs and forest along the shoreline of the bay. The park marks the eastern terminus of the roughly 1,900-kilometer Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The original wooden observation tower has been closed due to structural safety concerns. Visitors can still enjoy views of the bay from the lakeshore trail and bike path, and the park offers cross-country skiing in winter. It is just a 10-minute drive from downtown Sturgeon Bay and sees fewer visitors than the northern state parks. A state park vehicle day pass is required.
