The Department of Natural Resources began staffing state parks in Door County the first weekend in May. What was originally a “soft reboot” is now a full reopening. Hours of operation have expanded to normal, from 6 AM to 11 PM. All area parks are open to the public again on Wednesdays, welcoming visitors seven days a week. Whitefish Dunes Park remains subject to a capacity limit, says Supervisor Erin Brown-Stender.

Admission stickers have been required since early May, and the DNR reports a surge in purchases in recent weeks.
