Five Things to Do on a Snowy Winter Day at Eagle Harbor Inn 
It's winter . . . you're planning a getaway to Eagle Harbor Inn this winter . . . and you're wondering, "What shall we do?" Consider these the beginning ideas for outdoor fun to fill your days before returning to our cozy Inn to spend a relaxing evening:
. Sled or "Tube" on Hill 17 at Peninsula State Park--
borrow one of our sleds, the snow is coming today!
. Ice Skate like you used to at our wonderful rink
Sister Bay, night skating under the lights is so
romantic.
. Snowshoe in Door County's State and County Parks . . .
50 miles of trails in our State Parks alone. The
Ridges Sanctuary near Baileys Harbor offers guided
snowshoe hikes on Friday afternoons beginning in
January. Make this the year you try it!
. Enjoy a winter horseback ride complete with hot cider
around the fire or a horsedrawn sleigh ride through
the orchards, bundled up with your loved one.
. How about a Candelight Ski on Cross-Country Skis at
night? Popular winter cross-country ski trails can be
found at four of Door County's State Parks, including
Peninsula, Potawatomi, Newport and Whitefish Dunes.
Candelight Skiing happens on specific Saturday
nights.
That's the first five activities that come to mind--and we haven't even mentioned snowmobiling for the "motorized enthusiast" or just taking that luxurious whirlpool, fireside. You'll never lack for exciting and invigorating fun in our Winter Wonderland! (Rentals available for all above activities. |
A Memory of Christmas Past 
Do you remember the "magic" of "making snow" from Ivory Flakes to put on your childhood Christmas trees? This tradition was part of our Christmases from the time I was born until Ivory Flakes was reformulated to be low-sudsing! It truly was magical--as soon as the tree was put up and lights put on, Mom would mix 1/2 cup Ivory Flakes with one cup of warm water on her electric mixer. When the mixture looked like whipped cream and was of the "perfect" consistency, we would cup our fingers, dip them into the "snow," then apply to the tree very carefully, being sure to use enough to look "real" and using a sweeping motion from inside the branch to the tip--our snow looked especially beautiful when positioned so tree lights shone directly on it! |
"The Power of Personal Purpose"
For a fresh perspective in the new year, plan to participate in the lively "The Power of Personal Purpose" seminar taught by international author and speaker, D. Trinidad Hunt. In this inspirational and highly interactive program you will discover a new level of fulfillment in life and work.

For more information on the seminar and accommodations, call Natalie at 800-324-5427. To learn more about D. Trinidad Hunt, please visit her website link below.
