Live from Liberty Grove, Wisconsin

Liberty Grove is Door County's northern-most community (excluding the Town of Washington Island),  It's also popularly referred to as "Door County North", and Wikipedia gives one crazy fact about Liberty Grove that isn't matched by any other Door County community:

 According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 189.5 square miles (490.7 km²), of which, 53.6 square miles (138.8 km²) of it is land and 135.9 square miles (352.0 km²) of it (71.72%) is water

That's right:  Liberty Grove has more waterfront property than any other Door County town, city of village.  And Liberty Grove takes its waterfront, and its waterfront recreation, very seriously.  With such popular beaches as the Ellison Bay Beach, Sand Bay Beach, Europe Lake Beach and with the recent purchase of more public waterfront access in Gills Rock, Liberty Grove is a great place for a vacation destination OR a year-round home. 

Liberty Grove also boasts several Town Parks (Sand Beach is my personal favorite, along with Portes des Mortes), as well as two County Parks (Door Bluff Park and Ellison Bluff Park) and even a STATE park:  Newport State Park off of County NP.  So all manner of year-round sports, from water sports that including boating, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, fishing, ice fishing, ice skating and more, as well as land sports that include hiking, biking, exploring, bluff climbing, camping, public tennis courts and more are some of the mainstays of Liberty Grove. 

Add in wonderful arts (from oils and watercolor to pottery), incredible schools (including the Clearing School for Adults and The Savory Spoon Culinary School), local festivals, great dining and shopping and much more and you have a thriving year-round community of approximately 2,000 people that call Liberty Grove home.

And just where is Liberty Grove?  Liberty Grove, as well as being the northern-most community on the Peninsula, includes the commercial centers of Ellison Bay and Gills Rock, as well as Europe Lake, Rowleys Bay, Newport, Northport and areas that are called  Sister Bay, Ephraim and Baileys Harbor for mail delivery.  Highway 42 is the main arterial that will take you from Sister Bay to Northport (to get on the ferry to Washington Island), and Liberty Grove is the only town in Door County that maintains its own roads, also.  Gorgeous canopies of hardwoods provide lush, leafy overhangs on many town road, including Isle View, Water View, Beach Road, Wisconsin Bay and others.
