Among the most popular areas in all of Door County is the community of Fish Creek, home to numerous theater groups, artisan shops and galleries, fine dining and Peninsula State Park. Many private, single-family residences in a wooded setting are within a pleasant walk from all that Fish Creek has to offer.

In 1844, just nine years after establishing Sturgeon Bay, Door County's first community, Increase Claflin - following a frightening confrontation between his son-in-law and local Indians - moved his family north and across the peninsula, along the Green Bay inlet. Although Claflin was its first settler, Asa Thorp is regarded as the man who founded the village, which he named Fish Creek. By 1853, Thorp owned much of the land in the Fish Creek area and had begun building a pier from which he could sell cord wood to Lake Michigan steamers.

The beauty that held Claflin and Thorp enthralled calls today's visitors to Fish Creek, Wisconsin as well. The entrance to Peninsula State Park is located in the village. Within its 3,700 acres is located Claflin Point, the site of the settler's cabin. The breathtaking view of the bay from Weborg Point makes it easy to see why he chose to live here.

For those who enjoy solitude and nature excursions alone or with family or friends, a bike ride through the park is just the ticket for relaxation. The park, with its sand beaches and nature trails, also is popular with campers. There are well-kept private campgrounds located near the village too.

Over the years, Fish Creek has also become the heart of Door County's artistic life. Here you'll find The Peninsula Players, the country's oldest professional summer theater; The Peninsula Music Festival; American Folklore Theatre; Peninsula Art School; Peninsula Arts Theater, and the Door Community Auditorium, which plays host to dozens of well-known artists and shows each year.

A unique variety of shops, galleries and restaurants provide gathering places for residents from all over the county and draws visitors back year after year. After a fine dinner, residents often enjoy taking a stroll to the marina and a quiet sunset cruise on the Green Bay on their pleasure boat moored there. Many more just sit on the city beach and watch as the sun paints the sky red and gold.

There's a reason the timeless charm and pleasant atmosphere surrounding Fish Creek, Wisconsin traditionally beckons the young and older, neighbors and visitors, season to season, year after year.
