I have never made it to Wisconsin but the more I hear about this state I should plan a trip sooner than later. 
Sitting on the banks of the mighty Lake Michigan just north of Green Bay by about an hour is Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Every season is a good reason to visit here.
With winter vastly approaching, the state of Wisconsin definitely feels the cold and chill in the air especially being near the lake. Winter activities like skiing, snow-shoeing, ice-skating and sledding are all very prominent in these neck of the woods. Of course, the Green Bay Packers make for a good time if you can weather “the weather”. I have always enjoyed watching the Packers play in the snow on TV just to wonder how they keep hold of the football. You can definitely find respite indoors and curl up in front of a nice cozy fire and enjoy a hot chocolate or latte at the local cafe or at one of the many quaint bed and breakfasts that can be found in the area.
Once the snow and ice start to disappear in spring, the locals remain outside to enjoy the blooming of the local flora and the visitors take in walking tours to learn about Sturgeon Bay’s history. Throughout the town one can see shipyards dotting the coastline and lighthouses to explore.
Summertime is a great time to visit Sturgeon Bay especially if you enjoy being out on the water either fishing, swimming, sailing or kayaking. From horse-back riding to going on bike tours and riding the ferry, there is much to do in Wisconsin’s Sturgeon Bay.
Fall time is beautiful with the leaves changing color and the slight nip in the air. Enjoying farmer’s markets and outdoor fruit stands are a local passtime here in Door County’s Sturgeon Bay. Taking walks through leaf covered trails make for a nice outing before the wintry snow starts. Fall is also time to harvest the grapes (the kind you drink, of course). Check out and visit Wisconsin’s local wineries and sample their fruits of labor.
So, if you happen to be traveling on business or pleasure to Green Bay, be sure to make some time to travel a little further north to Sturgeon Bay for the day or two and explore this little coastal town.
