Kohler-Andrae State Park, Sheboygan

We had a wonderful winter camping experience. The lake was beautiful -- emerging from the fog, dark, murky, ominous, brooding and broiling. The dunes, covered with snow and with their stubble of milkweed and brambles, and, with the interspersed evergreen patches and birch clumps, were also beautiful. And, hiking the trails over them was invigorating. The campsites were comfortable, with electricity and sheltered in the fir trees. Water taps and clean buildings with pit toilets were nearby.

A unique hiking experience on the shores of Lake Michigan. The cord walk over the dunes is beautiful and well maintained. The view of the lake is outstanding, and the ecological diversity of this park makes it a great place for photography as well as tree, butterfly, and bird identification. There are also forested trails and a marsh boardwalk connecting to a large campground.
