Potawatomi State Park offers all that Door County has to offer! Located on the shore of Sturgeon Bay, this park offers spectacular views and great camping. This park is named in honor of the tribe that once inhabited Green Bay's shores. Potawatomi State Park has camping, fishing, boating, and hiking on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Potawatomi State Park on the shore of Sturgeon Bay in southern Door County, has 1,200 acres of gently rolling upland terrain bordered by steep slopes and rugged limestone cliffs. Over two miles of shoreline provide many scenic views and recreational opportunities. A 75-foot observation tower rises above the forest canopy giving a panoramic view. On a clear day, the view from the park's observation tower reaches 16 miles across Green Bay. The park is named in honor of the tribe that inhabited Green Bay’s shores and islands when Europeans first settled the area. The tribe called themselves “Bo-De-Wad-Me” which means “keeper of the fire.” Eventually the spelling and pronunciation were changed to “Potawatomi.”
