More from Door

No trip to Door County is complete without attending a traditional 'fish boil.' We went to one at the Old Post Office Restaurant in the town of Ephraim, and it was amazing. The cold night air, the fire, and the tasty fish made for a memorable and enjoyable evening. The pyrotechnic highlight is when the boil master throws some kerosene on the fire right before removing the food. Have your camera ready!

We also paid a visit to Cana Island to see the lighthouse. The island was only accessible by what I called a "Wisconsin Motorboat," which was a 12-person wagon pulled by a John Deere tractor across the 100-yard shallow gauntlet of Lake Michigan water between the peninsula to the island. The lighthouse grounds were windy but beautiful, and tourists could go inside the lighthouse (though not to the top) to see the living and working quarters. A Halloween scarecrow even was there to greet you at the lighthouse entrance.
