View of Green Bay-Peninsula State Park

Fish Creek shop

Shore Road - Peninsula State Park

Graffiti dock warehouse -  Anderson Docks - Ephraim

You just cannot stay in Sister Bay without having breakfast at Al Johnson's ............. the house specialty, Swedish pancakes with strawberries & whipped cream is a real treat.  It's like starting the day with dessert .......... yum!
A short five miles from Sister Bay is Eagle Harbor and the town of Ephraim.  With its simple white colored storefronts, inns & church steeples it has a New England feel.  Anderson Dock Marina is the site of the historic dock warehouse well known for its boat name graffiti. ( Longtime home of the Francis Hardy Gallery)
Between Eagle and Fish Creek harbors, the shoreline juts out into Green Bay to create Eagle Bluff.  The vast, 4,000  acre park created by the bluff is now Peninsula State Park where visitors can find endless biking and hiking trails.
The gateway to this park is in downtown Fish Creek.  After securing a slip at Alibi Dock we headed out for a bike tour of the area.  The village of Fish Creek is a vibrant place with many inns, restaurants and shops.  Add to this the endless recreational opportunities provided by the waterfront and Peninsula State Park, no wonder Fish Creek was voted #1 small-town getaway destination by Midwest Living Magazine.

Swedish pancakes - Al Johnson's

It was a pretty laid back day as we cruised a mere twelve miles.  The villages of Door County are meant to be explored, not looked at from a boat. We will continue this relaxed schedule tomorrow as we head to Egg Harbor.
