​Best Scenic Lookout Points in Door County
Where to Soak in the Views, Snap the Photos, and Catch Your Breath (In a Good Way)

Door County is a visual feast. From limestone bluffs to crashing waves, orchard-lined backroads to fire-colored sunsets, you’re never far from a breathtaking view. Whether you're up for a scenic hike, a peaceful drive, or a breezy sail, here are some of the most unforgettable lookout points in the area.

1. Cave Point County Park
Located just south of Jacksonport, this iconic spot is known for its dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and camera-loving sunrises. The trails are short and easy, and the views? Straight-up poetry. Bonus points if you catch the spray from the waves while standing safely on shore—it’s nature’s version of a mist setting.

2. Eagle Tower at Peninsula State Park
Recently rebuilt with an accessible ramp and stairway, Eagle Tower is a must-see (and must-climb). From the top, you'll get a panoramic view of Green Bay, the forest canopy, and on a clear day, maybe even your worries fading into the horizon. Bring your camera and maybe a snack—you’ll want to linger.

3. Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay
The name says it all. Just a few minutes from Bridgeport Resort, this local gem offers unobstructed views of the sunset dipping into the bay. Grab a blanket, pack a picnic, and soak in golden hour the Door County way. It’s quiet, simple, and completely magical.

4. On the Water with Sail Door County
​Looking for a lookout without the hiking boots? Step aboard with Sail Door County, where the view is the experience. Their scenic sailing tours offer a totally different vantage point—limestone bluffs, lighthouses, and shoreline beauty from the sparkling waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. It’s peaceful, photo-worthy, and an unforgettable way to experience the peninsula’s natural charm.

Anderson Dock in Ephraim
More than just a scenic stop, Anderson Dock is also a living art installation. The dockside warehouse is famously covered in layers of visitor graffiti (legal and encouraged!), and the view of the harbor—especially at sunset—is a dreamy mix of sailboats, still waters, and soft skies.

6. Door Bluff Headlands County Park
This one’s a bit more off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the adventure. The hike is rustic, the signage minimal, and the payoff is huge: a secluded bluff-top view looking down over the sparkling waters of Green Bay. It’s one of Door County’s best-kept secrets—until now.
