Whitefish Dunes State Park, State Natural
Area &
Cave Point County Park
This 865-acre day-use state park preserves
the largest and most significant
Great Lakes dunescape in Wisconsin.
The lakeshore is
spectacular here;

active and stabilized
dunes. The
park also offers a
nature center,
three archaeological
sites and interpretive
programs
for the public. To the north, Cave Point
County Park features picturesque limestone
sea caves. Diverse habitats and a
Great Lakes locale make birding on
these properties ideal. You can find
waterfowl of all kinds, Rough-winged
Swallows, and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers.
