Cave Point County Park in Door county is one of the most-visited natural places in Wisconsin – and for good reason. The park treats visitors to the sight of dramatic limestone cliffs, picturesque caves, and the clear blue waters of Lake Michigan. You can take in this drama steps from where you park your car, but for an even more spectacular experience, lace up your hiking shoes. Here’s why the Cave Point Lakeside Trail is a great Wisconsin hiking path.
Cave Point is a stunning natural area located in Door County, Wisconsin, along the eastern shore of the Door Peninsula. It’s one of the most photographed places in all of Wisconsin.
The most striking feature of Cave Point is the series of limestone sea caves and cliffs that have been carved over thousands of years by the relentless waves of Lake Michigan.
The water erosion has created caves, crevices, and intricately shaped limestone formations along the shoreline. The Lakeside Trail traces this magical stretch of lakeshore.
Hikers can walk along the shoreline and enjoy panoramic vistas of the cliffs and caves. The contrast between the rugged shoreline and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan is spectacular.
You can’t visit Door County without making a trip to Cave Point. I’ve been there many times over the years, and it’s always beautiful.
