Quad bikes are a fun and unique way to explore the island. It is easy to lose yourself on the Island for hours…starting with a laid out guided tour (the hills mostly in your favor), followed by the many sweet treat stops strategically planted along your route.

​

Paddle the serene waters of Detroit Harbor, glide over shallow wrecks from the days of sail, or explore the famed Rock Island Boathouse and Viking Hall. There are several kayak tours available for you to check out.

All tours require a minimum of 4 paddlers.

On your way up to the island, swing by Island Orchard Cider, just off Hwy 42, to sample a flight of  their juicy, crisp ciders on the patio!. Although their orchards are located just behind the festival grounds, their tasting room is in Ellison Bay. 

​

Enjoy the small log cabin, once owned by Jens Jacobsen,and it's collection of regional artifacts. Museum open 10am-4pm daily.

Touring Washington Island the old-fashioned way... foot & pedal, has been compared by some to a peaceful State Park feeling as you ride along our majestic tree lined roadways, the golden wheat fields of Death's Door Spirits & miles of scenic shorelines. These retro style bikes offer 7 speeds so you can see it all.
