Paddling in a kayak through this stunning nature preserve feels like stepping into a hidden sanctuary, far from the hustle of everyday life. As you make your way into the ever-shifting waterway known as the Mink River, you'll glide through serene, shallow waters that are absolutely critical for the web of life to function properly—fish spawning areas, vibrant wetlands, and an estuary rich with migratory birds. Marvel at the the colorful dragonflies and damselflies but keep an eye out for the rare Hine's emerald dragonfly, thought extinct until its rediscovery here. Led by a certified Wisconsin Master Naturalist, this peaceful tour offers unparalleled views of Lake Michigan and an intimate connection with Door County's flora, fauna, and vital ecosystems.
