Description

Obviously there are innumerable locations in Wisconsin (on the 'West Shore' of Lake Michigan) where one could access the lake for possible surfing action. What follows are just a few known, popular spots.

To have some consistent means of logical order, locations are being listed from South to North, from the Illinois/Wisconsin border to the tip of Door County. Listed 'distance' is derived from Google driving directions, using a starting point of Hwy.32 at Russel Road (WI/IL state line) and ending as close as possible via road access to each beach.

Do you know of a location where the surfing action is just 'too sweet' (when the wind and waves are right)? Please add a "Trip Report" detailing any additional 'hot spots' you are aware of on 'the big pond'.
