You step onto the town dock in Fish Creek and the lake air immediately takes charge — cool, sharp, and threaded with cedar and the distant call of gulls. The boat slips away from shore and the shoreline of Peninsula State Park unfurls: limestone bluffs, mixed hardwood forest, and the squat red-and-white of Eagle Bluff Lighthouse growing larger as you round the point.
