A New Way to Glide Through Fish Creek

As a retired teacher with a penchant for road trips, I have always been drawn to the charm of small towns and the stories they hold. Fish Creek, nestled in the heart of Door County, Wisconsin, is one such place that beckoned me with its promise of scenic beauty and rich history. When I heard about the Fish Creek Segway Tour, I knew it was an experience I couldn’t pass up. The idea of exploring this quaint village on a Segway intrigued me, and I was eager to see how it would compare to the road trips of my youth.

The tour began with a practice session in a spacious parking lot, where our guides, Nick and Sandy, patiently helped us get comfortable with the Segways. Their friendly demeanor and expert guidance put everyone at ease, especially those who were new to this mode of transportation. As I glided around the lot, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the days when my family and I would set off on our own adventures, the open road stretching out before us.

Discovering Fish Creek’s Hidden Gems

Once we were all confident on our Segways, we set off on our journey through Fish Creek. The tour took us along the sidewalks of Main Street, where the charming storefronts and historic buildings whispered tales of the past. As we made our way down to the marina, the sight of the boats bobbing gently in the water against the backdrop of Peninsula State Park was nothing short of picturesque. It was a scene that could have been plucked straight from a postcard, and I found myself reaching for my camera to capture the moment.

Our next stop was Sunset Beach Park, a place renowned for its breathtaking views of the Door County sunset. Standing there, with the sun dipping below the horizon and painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, I was reminded of the countless sunsets I had witnessed from the windows of our family RV. Each one was a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the simplest of moments, and this was no exception.

A Journey Down Cottage Row

The final leg of our tour took us down Cottage Row, a picturesque shoreline community lined with luxurious summer homes. As we glided past these grand residences, I couldn’t help but imagine the stories they held within their walls. Each home seemed to have its own unique character, a testament to the generations of families who had spent their summers here, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As the tour came to an end, I found myself reflecting on the experience. The Fish Creek Segway Tour had offered me a new perspective on a place that felt both familiar and new. It was a reminder that there are always new ways to explore and appreciate the world around us, even in places we think we know well. For those who, like me, have a love for the open road and the stories it holds, this tour is a delightful way to experience the charm of Fish Creek.
