My dad and I do a bit of sailing out of Fish Creek. Years ago we used to Fred and Fuzzies or Ephriam for ice-cream.

I was wondering if anyone knows if Ephriam, Sister Bay, or Egg harbor have a spot a 28’ sailboat could dock up for an hour or two to let the crew disembark and use the restroom or grab a quick bite.

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder to please be mindful of fireworks this weekend. They can be really overwhelming for LGBTQ+ with sensory sensitivities, and we want everyone to feel safe and included. Loud noises and flashing lights can be a lot to handle. Let's try to find other ways to celebrate a colonized holiday that doesn't involve potential distress for some members of our community. The queer community is already disadvantaged from all the oppressor celebrations. Thanks for understanding!

Any restaurant recs? Ideally something nicer, on the water.

Hi all! My girlfriend and I are going up to Door County to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. We both would like to go to a winery with a good vibe and outdoor seating if possible. Something by the water would be a plus. I would appreciate any and all recommendations!

Also, if anyone has any general recommendations for things to do/eat in the area, I would love to hear them.

I’m not from here, but visiting later this month. I just finished catching up on the Alpine lore and legal drama.

I have a room booked at the Alpine in their new club house rooms. As far as I’m reading, it doesn’t seem like there have been issues with that part of the operation… right?

I was sort of shocked to find available rooms this close to travel when everything else in egg harbor is solidly booked.

I am planning a trip to Door County from South Milwaukee. I have been to Door County once a couple of years ago but didn't see much besides a few of the nice beaches. You know how you phone tracks you all the time, so after my last visit I started getting ads on social media showing places in Door County and felt I messed a lot of good things in my first visit. I want to do it right this time. So I am looking for suggestions on must see places and things to do in, around and on the way to Door County so I can plan my trip.

Places like parks, museums, beaches, view points, etc. Or any other things I should consider adding to my list.

Thanks!

Any and all recommendations are appreciated! Thanks!

May be very random but my significant other likes to collect glasses from bars with their logo. Any advice on best restaurant/bar to go to where they would sell us one during our trip?

Heading up in a couple days and wondering if there are any bars/restaurants with covered outdoor seating that is pet friendly? I know a lot of places have outdoor seating that is pet friendly, but with the forecast it would be good to have some shelter if it does rain when we are out.

My family of three (two adults and a preteen) are interested in going kayaking around Cave Point. We’ve found a number of kayak companies that all have similar pricing and reviews. Please help us pick one! FWIW we’re all kayaking novices.

I never use reddit, but im honestly really curious what this was. I was camping on washington island with my family. There was a light ignition sound and than a fucking massive explosion sound. My dog starting barking like crazy and everyone was shook. The info i have is

It was way too loud to be a firework

It was at a campsite

We asked some other ppl what it couldve been and one said they saw a flash in the sky similar to a flashbang in the sky right before the explosion

Hi All - transplanted Midwesterner here. I would be the first in my family to do something like purchase a lot of undeveloped land. I'm coming here because I truly have no family/friend to call up and ask for advice.

In the next few years, I would love to buy a 1.0-1.5 acre of land and build a modest home for personal use - not for vacation rental. I would be so grateful for any advice, including names of professionals you think I should reach out to (attorneys, surveyors). I'm a single female so I'm also worried about getting taken for a ride.

The advice I've gotten so far has really gone over my head - hence the "explain to me like I'm 5" (I'm not, but you get the idea).

Thank you!

In town in a couple weekends for a family event. Bailey’s harbor I wanna say? Not familiar with area. Any patios or restaurants that would have World Cup on during day?

Question for seasonal workers: where do you socialize during the day/party at night? Ive been here for a few weeks now and have struggled meeting people my age (mid 20s). I know you exist here, as most restaurants and bars have young employees. How did you meet the friends you have up here outside of your work? Anything helps!

My mother has a cottage below a buff. She currently uses Frontier for WiFi.

It’s never been great, due to the location of the house, but this year it’s been awful! Almost non existent at times.

She is below a bluff and cell service is not great either.

She’s 83 so we are concerned for her safety as well.

Any recommendations?????
