Walking Where Eagles Fly, Door County, Post #4

Sounds like a rather dramatic title for today’s post, don’t ya think?

The first day that my friend and I spent exploring Door County back in October, the weather was cloudy and damp. It didn’t stop us from climbing Eagle Tower and Canopy Walk in Peninsula State Park.

The original tower was built on this site in 1914. It was taken down and rebuilt in 1932. That tower was closed in May 2015 due to structural issues and removed in September 2016.

The current tower just opened in May of last year. It offers full accessibility to the observation deck via the 850-foot ramp.

When we first visited the tower Monday mid-afternoon, we climbed the 95 stairs to the top and took the ramp back down.

When Wednesday, our last day in Door County, dawned with the sun finally breaking through the clouds, we naturally had to go back and climb to the top again

Didn’t see any eagles soaring either time, but that’s okay. 

All you get is me doing my best to fly with my feet firmly planted.
