Potawatomi State Park
On the way home from Door County on April 17, 2023, Kim, Cash and I stopped at Potawatomi State Park to get in one more hike, even though the weather had changed dramatically (it was now snowing!). We parked between the two campgrounds and followed the Tower Trail out to the tower and the Old Ski Hill Overlook. We returned inland mostly on the Tower Trail though we got off on a couple of ski trails and the Ancients Shorelines Trail. This was a nice hike, though the first portion along the lake was our favorite.
