Cave Point County Park

5360 Schauer Rd, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235, USA
(920) 746-9959

The land for Cave Point County Park was gifted to the county for preservation by three families in 1943 and 1945: George and Mabel Hanson, Mike and Louise Lyons, and John and Florence Reynolds. It was the fifth park added to the county park system and derived its name from the geological formation.

Early discussion of the park’s formation explored making it a state park or a war memorial site. After lengthy and heated debates on the topic and a reshuffle of county board members, the focus of the park settled on the geological formation.

A historical sign describing the history of the formation of Cave Point was installed in 2003.
