Washington Island

As the human population grows and the world shrinks due to the power of the internet, it is difficult to identify any location as truly remote. Everything is easily accessible and well-known. However, there are still some areas that are quite remote, particularly in Wisconsin. Washington Island is one such location. The population is around 600 people. However, even on this island, which is only accessible by ferry, there are places that will make you feel as if you are in another world. Washington Island, located at the top of Door County, is known as "Death's Door" because of the choppy waters that have killed many sailors.


That doesn't stop people from going out in kayaks because the views from the water are spectacular. Seriously, there are parts of the island where you may not see another soul while exploring. There are also some lovely forests to explore here. Much of it is undeveloped, so make sure you know where you're going. The Medieval-style church built on the island, known as a stavkirke, is one of the coolest and most unexpected features of this island. It truly is breathtaking. Finally, there may not be a better place to watch the sun set. You simply cannot believe how beautiful it is.
