Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin Real Estate
An Angler's Eden

Welcome to Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin!

In October 1848, a cargo ship loaded with lumber and carrying several passengers left Racine, Wisconsin, bound for Detroit, Michigan around the Great Lakes. That evening the ship, commanded by Capt. Justin Bailey, encountered a violent storm. Buffeted by high winds and heavy rain, the ship pitched and rolled in the angry Lake Michigan waters. Concerned for his passengers and cargo, Bailey kept watch for a place in which to ride out the storm. Late that night he found a quiet cove where he could drop anchor until the storm passed and his journey could be resumed. That act of nature assured Capt. Justin Bailey a measure of immortality; the village that sprung up there the following year was called Baileys Harbor.

Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, has thousands of acres of wetlands and wilderness, much of it preserved as part of Björklunden, Toft's Point and the Mud Lake Wildlife Area. Birding and hiking are at their very best at the Ridges Sanctuary at Baileys Harbor. The Ridges, a privately held wildflower preserve, includes the Baileys Harbor Rangelight and Lighthouse, and a beautiful sand beach that's open to the public. The Baileys Harbor business district includes many quaint and enjoyable shops, galleries and restaurants.

Charter fishing boats leave here daily carrying anglers in search of a memorable day on Lake Michigan. With over 250 miles of shoreline—along with numerous bays, harbors, and islands—all of Door County offers a concentration of superb fishing unmatched anywhere on the Great Lakes. Trout and salmon attract a majority of the attention, but spectacular action for walleye, perch, small mouth, and big northern pike is available as well. When the focus is on brown trout, no one is more knowledgeable on the subject of Baileys Harbor fishing than the charter boat captains. They keep their outfitted craft in the water mid-April through October. If you follow their methods and lure choices, you should be able to bring in some nice catches.
