The Door County Parks Department is pleased to announce that dredging operations at Chaudoirs Dock County Park have been successfully completed. The next phase of the project is resurfacing the upper parking lot. This work is well underway but is expected to take a week or more to complete. The anticipated completion date is September 10th.
***NOTE THE PARK WILL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED TUESDAY THE 8TH and WEDNESDAY the 9TH of SEPTEMBER TO ACCOMMODATE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT***
The harbor entrance, dock, and boat launch are now open and ready for public use, with parking
limited to the lower parking lot only. There are 11 trailer parking stalls and two handicap-accessible trailer stall. As a reminder, a daily boat launch pass or annual Door County Boat Launch. A sticker is required to use the ramp and parking lot. Parking in the grass or in areas not designated for parking is not permitted. Please be courteous to the paving crew and avoid actions that may interrupt or slow their work.
With the dredging portion now finished, boaters should be aware that dredging activity can
sometimes bring submerged logs, debris, or other hazards into navigable areas. The Door County
Parks Department strongly encourages all boaters to use caution when operating in and around the
harbor entrance and to remain alert for potential navigation hazards.
The Parks Department appreciates the patience and cooperation of residents, anglers, and
recreational boaters throughout this important maintenance effort. These improvements will
enhance navigation safety and ensure continued access to Chaudoirs Dock County Park for years to
come.
