Segway Door County: Cave Point & Whitefish Dunes Guided Tour
Glide along limestone cliffs, sinkholes and Lake Michigan dunes on a guided Segway tour of Cave Point and Whitefish Dunes. In about two hours you'll cover dramatic geology, quiet lake coves, and the state park's towering dunes with a local guide.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 15 minutes early
Meet at the gravel turnout on South Lake Road for check-in and quick Segway training; late arrivals delay the whole group.
Dress for wind and spray
Layer a windbreaker and secure loose items—the lakeshore can be unexpectedly cool and gusty even on summer days.
Footwear matters
Closed-toe shoes with a grippy sole help with balance on the Segway and on sandy park trails.
Protect the dunes
Stay on designated paths at Whitefish Dunes to avoid trampling fragile grasses that hold the dunes in place.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Dune grasses and shoreline bluffs are vulnerable to trampling and erosion; staying on trails and following guide instructions helps protect these fragile systems.
The limestone ledges and caves formed during the Silurian period and later became landmarks for Indigenous peoples and 19th-century mariners navigating the lake’s hazards.
