If you stay at the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort, not only does EVERY suite have a front row view of a Lake Michigan sunrise every morning, you will also have access to all the natural beauty in our “neighborhood.” For the next couple of weeks, we are going to share some of that natural beauty with you.
We are busy working on the next edition of our eBook series: A Door County Beach in Fall. Watch for the announcement of completion soon. In the meantime, enjoy some of the outtakes from the 200+ photos we have taken over a three day period for this project.
The California coast has "the lone cypress." We have the "not so lonely cedar" at nearby Cave Point County Park.

Installment two of Glidden Lodge’s Door County Beach E-book series has hit the web. In it you will find updated photos of our gorgeous sand beach, Whitefish Dunes State Park, Cave Point and the Cana Island Lighthouse. The Cana Island Lighthouse photos include a series of photos taken from the porthole windows at the top of 100+ step winding staircase! You MUST see this in person to believe it.

Cana Island Lighthouse has a spiral staircase with 100 stairs to a room with a view.
OK, maybe skyscraper is a bit of an exaggeration. However, at 89 feet in height, the Cana Island Lighthouse is an impressive structure surrounded by amazing scenery. Cana island is an active lighthouse, automated since 1945 and still providing guidance for the vessels that pass by its waters. The structure is also open as a museum and a climb to the top will give you a look at the authentic Fresnel lens that tops the tower.
For details on visiting Cana Island Lighthouse click here. And before you head north to Door County to see the sights, call Glidden Lodge Beach Resort to reserve your suite on their beautiful Lake Michigan sand beach. Call 920-746-3900, 1-866-GLIDDEN or email frontdesk@gliddenlodge.com.

If you have been a guest at the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort, you know what a treasure our beach is. 700+ feet of gorgeous, sandy Lake Michigan shoreline for our guests to enjoy. Every season of the year. So we decided to create an e-book – the first in a series really – to celebrate our beach and share its’ seasonal beauty with everyone.
Introducing the first in our series: A Door County Beach in Winter. All of our photos were taken in a single day in February 2012 during this very unseasonably warm winter. We got help from our friend Carolyn Rock, the Natural Resource Educator at Whitefish Dunes State Park. Whitefish Dunes is a gem of a park, a mere 3.5 mile hike from Glidden Lodge. Carolyn has been instrumental in helping us care for our beach by keeping invasive plant life at bay and by helping us be guardians of our beach ecosystem. Her input on this project was greatly appreciated.
Our 12 page e-book, created in PDF format, has links to information about the Niagara Escarpement, beachfront plant and animal life and more. And since Cana Island Lighthouse and Cave Point County Park are in the neighborhood, they get a shout out too.
A Door County Beach in Winter is the first of four e-books starring our beach. Look for the spring edition in late May. And we invite you to personally experience our beach – contact us today for a great spring deal!
