Jacksonport’s Story

The Village of Jacksonport, Wisconsin is nestled along the Lake Michigan shoreline on Wisconsin's Door Peninsula. One tradition says the community was named after Andrew Jackson, a logger and prominent business owner; while another says it was named for President Andrew Jackson. In either case, Jacksonport is fortunately situated on the "quiet side" of Door County and remains a small, quaint lakeside community that hosts several events throughout the year. It's a great place to relax and has fabulous dining and some great shopping places..

Settled in 1848 as a lumber town, the community became the last of Door County's communities to be formally organized in 1869.. Today this quiet little community offers visitors old-fashioned hospitality and a relaxing break from the pressures of everyday life.

Whitefish Dunes State Park, located just south of Jacksonport on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan, is one of the jewels of Wisconsin's state parks system. A large expanse of sandy beach and the highest dunes in the state lure visitors to the park. Once there, the hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails create serene memories that keep vacationers coming back for more.

Cave Point County Park is immediately adjacent to Whitefish Dunes State Park. Bring your camera and imagination to capture the wild beauty of Lake Michigan pounding against the park's limestone sea caves. The din of waves crashing against rock and moving through the caves is unforgettable.

Jacksonport boasts one of the county's biggest and most popular festivals, Maifest. Music, ethnic foods, a wide variety of crafters and artisans, and numerous other inviting activities make Memorial Day weekend fun and Jacksonport synonymous for people from all over the United States. Jacksonport also plays host to the annual and popular Jacksonport Polar Bear Club swim, held at 12 noon each New Year's day in Lakeskide Park. Come watch hundreds of "polar bears" start off the new year with an icy dip in Lake Michigan. And if you're feeling adventurous, feel free to join in the fun.

For outdoors enthusiasts, Jacksonport is conveniently situated within day trip driving distances from several other beautful state parks, include Peninsula State Park, and Potowatomi State Park.
