Feature Presentation “Paddling Door County’s Lighthouses and Coastlines”

With over 315 miles of coastline (and 13 lighthouses, more than any other county in the U.S.), Door  County is truly a kayaker’s paradise.

Join Tim Pflieger on a visual journey highlighting Door County’s lighthouses and unique coastlines. Discover some of his favorite off the beaten path paddling spots, and learn of the natural history of the area and some of the best waterside eateries in Door County.

Tim is well known in Wisconsin paddle circles as an outfitter, instructor, coach, EMT, motivational speaker and all around great guy! His presentation will includes great pictures and insightful information on great places to paddle in and around Door County.

Sunset Over Horseshoe Island

Door County is surrounded by more water than any other other county.  This makes for lots of water to paddle!  Here’s a view of the sun going down behind Horseshoe Island from Eagle Harbor.

Eagle Harbor usually provides protected paddling from the waves on most days.  Paddling out to and around Horseshoe Island is a nice shorter trip.

Launching from Nicolet Bay in Peninsula State Park will make the paddle to Horseshoe Island a little shorter.

We will be adding more information about paddling in Door County in the coming weeks and more launch locations to our paddling map.
