Whitefish Bay, Door County, Wisconsin

Whitefish Bay is an unincorporated community on the Lake Michigan shoreline in the town of Sevastopol, Door County, Wisconsin.

[1][2] Native Americans, likely the Menominee, called Whitefish Bay Ah-Quas-He-Ma-Ganing ("save our lives").

Called Castle Romance,[8] the first story housed pigs, the second, geese, and the fourth, ducks.

[9] In 1913, the first summer cottage along what is now Glidden Drive was built out of wood scrapped from Castle Romance.

South Cave Point Drive extends north after crossing the mouth of Whitefish Bay Creek (lower left), ending at Whitefish Dunes State Park (far right corner; the state park also includes the wooded area set back from the shore on the left) Glidden Drive runs parallel to the shore south of the row of Glidden Lodge Beach Resort condos (upper left corner).
