Whitefish Dunes

June 3, 2008 by 8 Comments

https://everitte.org/ren7w4n4 Whitefish Dunes State Park is on the Lake Michigan side of Door County, the large peninsula extending off the north-eastern part of Wisconsin. It has the only significant area of sand dunes on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The state of Michigan, 98 miles across the lake, sports much larger areas and much taller sand dunes.

    source link I had no idea that these lakes were this beautiful 🙂 (having never been to Michigan before, I was basing my ‘ideas’ of what the lakes looked like from Fargo, I think! LOL Don’t ask me why!)
