Whitefish Dunes State Park, State Natural Area and 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; a boardwalk takes you through the 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.

Directions: From Sturgeon Bay, take Hwy 57 north to Valmy. One mile past Valmy turn east on Clark Lake Road 3
miles to the park entrance.
