Yesterday I got the urge to check a few more parks off the list. Is there a better way to spend a 30 degree day in Wisconsin than a BEACH PARTY? I visited Fischer Creek State Recreation Area, Kohler-Andrae State Park (formerly Terry Andrae SP), and Harrington State Park. All three are on the shore of Lake Michigan.
I was accompanied by my friend and co-worker Tera. I bet she regrets the decision to come along! (just kidding!) It was fun, but cold! All three of these parks would be great for swimming in the summer. Kohler-Andrae and Harrington offer large amounts of hiking trails. Harrington was waaaay larger than I thought it would be, with camping areas, ski trails, a beach area, and a year-round park ranger.
Enjoy some pics!
This "conservation area" was recently bought by the state and is now a "state recreation area", but the old sign still remains. I bet due to budget cutbacks. 
Catching some rays on the beach!
Almost got a bath trying to get this shot of neat ice build-up on the waters edge.
Miles of sandy beach and huge sand dunes!
Tera taking a break...
Only took the one picture at Harrington SP.
It was getting late and we were cold and getting tired. Harrington SP ended up being a "drive through", but I think that this one might get a second visit. This park is very large, with an observatory (steel shed with a sign that said "observatory"), tons of camping, and lots of trails.
Three more off the list!
