Our next stop on the way to Door County was Potawatomi State Park. We purchased an Annual Wisconsin State Park Pass here for $25 (Wisconsin resident price). Most Wisconsin State Parks allow pets on leashes. A few have specific restrictions which only let pets in certain picnic areas. We didn't notice any restrictions in the picnic areas here, so we ate lunch along the shores of Surgeon Bay at picnic site #4. Views of the water and skiers in the bay kept us entertained.
After lunch we continued our drive through the park examining the campgrounds until we made our way to the observation tower. A no pet sign let us know Porter was not welcome to climb the 75 foot tower. That's okay though. The open stairs going up were a bit scary.
We aren't advising leaving your pets in the car unattended, especially in the heat of summer. Car temperatures can rise quick. But we have a convertible which we parked in the shade and made sure to leave the pup with fresh water. The stairs (which left our quads burning) only took us a few minutes to climb so Porter wasn't left alone very long and we could see him from the tower the entire time.
Once on top, the view was amazing. The water in the bay was crystal clear.
