Satellite view of Lake Michigan on February 4, 2012 from NOAA

Wisconsin has 11 counties which are on Lake Michigan. I just thought it would be nice to have a post that groups all of these counties together. It might be handy to have if you are thinking about doing the Lake Michigan Circle Tour for example. I have included counties along Green Bay in the list; after all Green Bay is an arm of Lake Michigan. This leads to the unusual situation for Kewaunee County which has a shoreline along both Green Bay and Lake Michigan, which is interrupted by Door County. So I’ve included Kewaunee County twice, before and after Door County.

Here is the list, starting from the border with Upper Michigan and working our way south to the Illinois border:

• Marinette County
• Oconto County
• Brown County
• Kewaunee County
• Door County
• Kewaunee County
• Manitowoc County
• Sheboygan County
• Ozaukee County
• Milwaukee County
• Racine County
• Kenosha County
