Good forOutdoor lovers
No vehicles reach Rock Island — no cars, no bikes, no shortcuts. Ferry passage from Washington Island drops you on a Lake Michigan island where Chester Thordarson, a wealthy inventor, built stone structures that still stand, now part of the Thordarson Estate Historic District. Wisconsin's oldest lighthouse, Pottawatomie Light, is here too. Forty primitive walk-in campsites, miles of shoreline, and a swimming beach. Everything you bring in, you carry out.
