Whitefish Dunes State Park, State park and archaeological site in Door County, United States
The 863-acre park stretches along Lake Michigan with sand dunes, rocky shores, forests, and a mile of beach at the eastern edge of Wisconsin.
Native Americans inhabited this region for over 2,000 years, leaving behind numerous artifacts and eight archaeological sites within the current park boundaries.
The park's nature center displays interpretive exhibits about indigenous communities, local wildlife, and geological formations that shaped the Wisconsin landscape.
