What to pack

What March feels like

March is Door County at its least flattering: gray, sloppy, and still mostly shut. Sturgeon spawning starts on the rivers toward the end of the month, which is a genuinely strange and wonderful thing to go and stand beside.

Winter is doing its thing: 8.6 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 4 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 36° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
