Established in 1928, Potawatomi State Park is a 1,225-acre Wisconsin state park northwest of the city of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. It is located in Door County along Sturgeon Bay, an area of stunning natural beauty. The park is open year around. Hours are 0600hrs to 2300hrs. There will be an entry fee. You can buy a daily pass or a yearly pass for all state parks. The best deal is for seniors. A $13 yearly fee will get you into all state parks for an entire year. $28 dollars a year for the younger set, and $38 for out-of-staters. If you want to camp, "Two loops of the Daisy Field campground offer a total of 123 campsites, 40 with electricity. Four group sites can each accommodate 30 people. Two of the group sites can accommodate trailers and motor homes and the other two sites are available for tent campers. Showers and a sanitary dump station are open in season." Firewood is available in the nice park store. Also, at the store, you can rent bicycles, kayaks, and canoes. There are drinks, snacks and camping supplies. If you want to hike, there are miles of trails for you to explore. Ask a friendly ranger for a park map when you enter the park. Just pull up to the window. Make sure you bring your binoculars because the birding is fun. If you don't mind chilly water there is a nice swim area with a spectacular view of the far side of Sturgeon Bay. For a grander view of the area make sure you climb the observation tower (if it is open). Also worthy of mention is the fact that the Eastern terminus of the 1200 mile Ice Age Trail is in this park. But that is another review for another day. My favorite time to visit is in the fall. It is a bit nippy; but the mobs of people are gone. Bottom line, this is a beautiful piece of Door County you won't want to miss. If you like getting out in nature in a safe and relatively remote bit of paradise it would behoove you to take the drive north. There are also several other parks on the peninsula that are worthy of visit. They are all beautiful.

This is my least favorite of the state parks in Door County. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice but there is stiff competition and I like the others better.
