JACKSONPORT, WISCONSIN

This tranquil village, nestled on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, has sandy beaches, rocky shoreline cliffs, peaceful trails, quiet back roads, parks, festivals, and a great farmer’s market. Go hike, bike, swim — or just hang out!

Quaint shops, in old homes and cabins, offer unique items — Amish quilts, pottery, yarn, antiques, ceramics, hand-weavings, arts, crafts, and photography.

Friendly restaurants and pubs offer good eats — Mexican specialties, homemade soups, bar burgers, and the Wisconsin favorite — the Friday fish fry.
