Welcome to The Friends of Whitefish Dunes

Whitefish Dunes State Park, established in 1967 is an 865-acre day use park on  Wisconsin's Door Peninsula. The Park preserves the largest and most  significant Great Lakes Dunes scape in Wisconsin. We are a group of  volunteers dedicated to enhancing and supporting the Park's mission and goals.

  We  work to enhance and preserve the Park's natural and cultural resources  while offering activities and projects to improve your visit. The  Friends sponsor educational and recreational activities and provide  financial support for special Park needs. 

​​Those of you who have been visiting Whitefish Dunes over the years may be surprised when you get here. High lake levels and strong storms have drastically altered the beach over the last several years. During the summer months, call the Park office before you visit for an update on the beach conditions: (920) 823-2400. Consult the Park website for additional information:
