There is still time to squeeze in your trip to Door County's five state parks this summer.

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, interest in Wisconsin's state parks remains high even as attendance levels off from post-pandemic highs. More than 518,000 people purchased annual park stickers in 2023, compared to shy of 400,000 in 2019. Park Superintendent Erin Brown-Stender says campsites have still been hard to come by, especially after a soggy start to the camping season.

Potawatomi State Park has become even more popular in recent years thanks to investments in accessibility. The Friends of Potawatomi State Park hopes to begin the construction of an accessible kayak launch after an accessible fishing pier was installed in recent years. Brown-Stender is proud of how inclusive the state park has become as the home of one of the few accessible cabin camping opportunities at a Wisconsin State Park.

She is also excited about the construction of a new park entrance facility, which will start before the end of this year and be completed in late 2025.
