Door County: From A to Z!
This month's feature: A, B, C

AppleCreek Resort
:
AppleCreek Resort-Motel & Suites is one of many fine lodging properties open year-round in Door County. At least three special qualities come to mind when one thinks about AppleCreek Resort.
One, the resort is owned by a woman who grew up with her family in Fish Creek. "My grandfather built the Eagle Bluff Tower (in Peninsula State Park). We invite you to come and enjoy the gorgeous views down beautiful shorelines of Door County," said Lynne Krause Weddig, who owns the inn with her husband Bill Weddig.
Second, the resort has a wonderful location (at the junction of Hwy. 42 and Cty Rd. F, Fish Creek), which is within walking distance of Peninsula State Park, Door County Auditorium (see story below for upcoming performances) and the Top of the Hill Shops center.
Third, AppleCreek Resort always seems to have specials going on. In fact, the Early Winter Special runs through Jan. 28. People may reserve suites with whirlpools and fireplaces for $99 to $129. The resort also has hotel-style rooms, and those are available through Jan. 28 at $59 to $89. A package is offered during the Fish Creek Winter festival Feb. 6 - 8. Check availability for a two-night suite package at $299 to $369, or a two night hotel package at $149 to $199. Sleigh and wagon rides are included. More information is available by calling 800/569-0059.

For those who love the beach, Door County is a place to put on your summer vacation list. Even if you been to the peninsula before, you probably have not discovered all the beaches that pepper this pretty coastal area.
One of the most special beaches is situated inside Whitefish Dunes State Park, located at 3275 Clark Lake Rd., Sturgeon Bay, near Jacksonport. Its pretty white sand stretches far and long beside Lake Michigan. Park access is required to see the beach.
There are so many other beaches including: Clarks Lake Beach and Lakeside Park beach, Jacksonport; Egg Harbor beach and Frank E. Murphy Park beach in Egg Harbor; Ellison Bay beach, Ephraim Village beach, Fish Creek beach, Sister Bay Park beach; and Sunset Park and Otumba Park beaches in Sturgeon Bay.
And there are beaches at Ridges Sanctuary, Baileys Harbor, and in Nicolet Bay. On Washington Island, find beaches at Jackson Harbor Ridges, Percy Johnson Memorial County Park, Red Barn Park/Gislason, Sand Dunes beach and Schoolhouse beach.
For details on locations and beach descriptions, visit DoorCountyNavigator.com
Cross country skiing:
Opportunities abound to ski Door County trails in the five state parks. For a different perspective on the sport, try skiing by candlelight. Newport State Park is hosting a  candlelight ski/hike event from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 14. People can ski a one-mile trail (Fern/Europe Bay) lit by homemade candles and then warm themselves around a bonfire and enjoy refreshments. Park in lot three.
