All the Reasons, All the Seasons
To Enjoy the Waters of Sturgeon Bay!
The scenic waters of Sturgeon Bay span from Lake Michigan on Door County's eastern side to Green Bay on the west with the Bay of Sturgeon Bay and the Ship Canal in between. The area's unique geography lends great variety to the shoreline, from rocky outcroppings to sandy, protected beaches. A range of water depths accommodates almost any size boat, from simple, one-person kayaks to massive Great Lakes ships.
The inherent variety of Sturgeon Bay's
waters creates
the ultimate lure for fishermen as well. Our bays and harbors, which offer
protection from wind and waves, have earned Sturgeon Bay a reputation as
one of the best smallmouth bass fisheries in the world. Trophy-class fish
of both cool- and cold-water species, including pike, salmon, perch and
trout, help make Sturgeon Bay the anglers' year-round destination of
choice.
The community of Sturgeon Bay itself, with its
well-planned waterfront
walkways and sail-up businesses, is readily
accessible from the water, making it easy for visitors to come ashore and
enjoy the city's historic downtown, rich maritime heritage, lively
cultural scene and beautiful parks. An abundance of nightlife, dining,
lodging and shopping options, more than any other community on the
peninsula, make Sturgeon Bay the ideal home port in which to anchor a
visit to Door County.
