Jacksonport, Wisconsin

July 20, 2017 by admin

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.
