Potawatomi State Park spans over 1,200 acres along the shores of Sturgeon Bay, offering visitors a chance to explore the Niagara Escarpment, a dramatic limestone ridge that provides panoramic views of the bay and surrounding woodlands. The park features miles of hiking and biking trails, a boat launch for fishing and kayaking, and a modern campground. In winter, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are popular. The observation tower on the escarpment is a must-see for its stunning vistas.
