Ellison Bluff State Natural Area, Wisconsin, United States
4.5 (148 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Door County State Parks
Somewhat hidden gem.....
We fortunately came upon this somewhat hidden gem, while exploring Door County. Being that it was the last week of March; there was little foliage, but also little crowding. There are beautiful views of the Lake; and a few trees bisecting the road, adds to the charm of this natural refuge. Whether one enjoys slowly driving, hiking and/or just sightseeing; it's definitely worth the effort to seek out this area.

Great view
Everyone comes here just to take in a view from the observation platform hanging over the lake. We were no different. That's pretty much is the extent of the park. Both Door County Park, and State Natural Area, the former is mostly about the observation platform, while the latter comprises the wild part of the park - not much in the way of trails though, just wild park.

It's A View
Take a short detour from the road, hike down the trail and stairs a ways, and look out over the bluff. That's about it, unless you're wanting to take more time to hike. It's a great spot to look out over the lake... would probably be great sunsets from here. We were a little early for colored leaves, but they would be pretty as well.
