Kewaunee, WI


Experience a sunrise or sunset along the lake shore of Kewaunee and you’ll wonder why you didn’t know about this harbor town before. Due east of Green Bay and nestled between Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee River valley, the city of Kewaunee has a charm all its own. The old pierhead lighthouse is a beacon for both recreational fishing boats going in and out of its deep water harbor and visitors approaching this city with a hometown atmosphere, by land. The fish and fun are plentiful with festivals throughout the year, a growing artists’ community, a winery and vineyard specializing in Wisconsin wines or places to ride your ATV or Snowmobile. Or take the historic tours reliving the days when Kewaunee was a major shipping port on the Great Lakes. You’ll be captivated by Kewaunee-The Spirit of the Lakeshore.
