41 – Door County, Wisconsin
Named “One of the Top 10 Vacation Destinations in North America” by Money Magazine, Door County, Wisconsin, offers scenic seaside experiences in the heart of the Midwest.
With more miles of shoreline than any other county in the nation, this 75-mile peninsula combines natural beauty and outdoor recreation with acclaimed performing arts, renowned galleries and shops, and pampering accommodations.
Water-based activities abound, while popular land-based activities include exploring five state parks or touring one of ten historic lighthouses. Tempt your palate with a traditional fish boil dinner and a piece of cherry pie, made with locally grown cherries.

Today, Prairie du Chien provides a perfect combination of fascinating history, natural scenic beauty, and contemporary attractions that make it a unique vacation destination.
Oldest of all the communities on the Upper Mississippi, Prairie du Chien replays its history in many of its birding, hiking, horse, and backwater river trails plus all the other extraordinary attractions the area offers.
