A Love Letter to Our Door County Beach – download it for free!

Monday, March 19th, 2012

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!

From the Peninsula Pulse:

Potter Tony Gebauer will demonstrate techniques for creating large ceramic pots on the wheel on the first three Saturdays in March from 1 – 3 pm…

“These special demonstrations are an opportunity for us to share the technique and answer questions about the process,” said Gebauer. “Also, it gives us something else to focus on during the winter and provides an opportunity for folks to stop by to visit…

TR Pottery is a working studio and gallery located in downtown Fish Creek on Main Street next to The Cookery restaurant. The gallery will be open the first three Saturdays in March from 10 – 5 pm.

Add that to the list of reasons to visit Door County in the month of March. And while you’re at it include a weekend at the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort on that list of reasons too. A weekend at Glidden lodge includes a gorgeous view of a late winter sunrise over Lake Michigan with every suite and great off season rates. Contact us today! Email: frontdesk@gliddenlodge.com
