for those who've tried local attractions, lodgings, and dining (that is, locals as well as trav-
elers); I love their “dog-friendly lodging” button.
Door County represents the American antipathy toward public transportation. There are no
buses, no trains, and no ferries from points south. (Entrepreneurs are constantly floating
proposals to run a passenger-only ferry to Menominee in Michigan's Upper Peninsula or
other towns from here, but don't count on it.) Wait till you see the auto traffic on a peak
weekend.
