Death's Door & Washington Island, Wisconsin

Northern Door County

The tip of the Door Peninsula and its island passages between Green Bay and Lake Michigan.

At the northern end of Door County, the peninsula gives way to the passages around Washington Island. Pilot Island Light counts out paired flashes near Death's Door, while the lights of Detroit Harbor mark a sheltered approach to the island. A tall composition joins the peninsula shore with the islands beyond.
