Which Way? 312 of 365 (Year 10)
Toft Point contains several outstanding native plant communities concentrated on a 1-mile-wide peninsula along Door County’s Lake Michigan coast. The natural areas provide habitat for more than 440 vascular plant species and one of the most diverse bryophyte (mosses and liverworts) floras in Wisconsin. The site is named for Kersten Toft who received the land as compensation for his work at a limestone quarry nearby. Remaining on site is a historic kiln, which is the state’s best intact example of the early circular kilns.
