Segway Cave Point & Whitefish Dunes Tour — Door County Scenic Glide
Select participants and date
You step onto the Segway with the lake wind already working at your collar. The first turn opens to a page of cliffs: wave-sculpted limestone rimming a sudden drop to Lake Michigan, spray spitting against pocked rock. The Segway hums, and the shoreline unspools — sinkholes like small moons, trees anchoring to narrow ledges, and the distant rise of dunes like pale hills against the blue.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed-toe shoes
The route includes gravel, paved paths and brief sandy boardwalks — closed-toe sneakers provide stability on the Segway and protect your feet.
Bring a light windbreaker
Lake Michigan winds can be cool even on warm days; a packable shell keeps you comfortable near the cliffs and dunes.
Keep electronics secure
Spray and sand can damage cameras and phones — use a sealed pouch and a lens cloth for quick cleaning.
Arrive early to find the gravel meeting spot
Meet at the gravel pullout on South Lake Road next to Clark Lake; GPS can point to the nearest address but not the exact turnout.
