About This Landmark

Scenic Shores at Cave Point County Park

Cave Point County Park, located near Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, is a striking location where towering limestone cliffs meet the clear blue waters of Lake Michigan. This park stands out for its dramatic shoreline carved by restless waves, forming underwater caves and rugged rock formations that create an impressive natural display. The cliffs rise sharply from the water’s edge, making it one of the region’s most photographed and beloved outdoor spaces.

Visitors to this park find themselves captivated by the interaction of water and stone, as Lake Michigan’s waves crash into caves beneath the cliffs, sending spray skyward and making a soothing soundscape. The park’s limestone formations date from ancient marine deposits, revealing layers of geological history visible along the shoreline. Above, cedar trees hold on to rocky ledges, adding touches of green to the stark stone edges.

A short, gently rolling trail winds through the park, providing easy access to overlooks and quiet spots for reflection or photography. The trail’s modest length makes it inviting for casual hikers or families seeking fresh air and scenic beauty. Swimming and cliff jumping are popular in the warmer months, with visitors enjoying the cool, clear lake water below the cliffs. Throughout its history, Cave Point has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts and families, offering a peaceful setting close to Sturgeon Bay.

With steady upkeep and clean facilities, Cave Point County Park provides a welcoming environment for anyone drawn to natural lakeshore scenery, making it a standout destination in northeastern Wisconsin.
