The ride on Rawley Point Bike Trail takes you on a hard pack trail through a heavily wooded beginning to an open area all the way to the Two River's Beach. The section through the wooded portion is hilly and curvy, lots of fun and something different than most trails. Once you reach the beach you follow the route for a short section of Two Rivers to the Mariners Trail. This paved trail runs right along Lake Michigan all the way to Manitowoc. The trail is lined with beautiful, well maintain gardens and takes you all the way into Manitowoc and the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. On the ride be sure and stop and walk through the West of Lake Gardens, a stunning flower garden that is free to the public. Well worth the stop.

LondonDairy Alpacas has been in business for more than two decades on a ranch that has been family owned for four generations. Approximately 50 alpacas make their residence here. We feature one-hour guided interactive, educational tours for all ages; the young and the young at heart for a fee. Reservations MUST be made in advance, preferably at least 24 hours. We can accommodate large groups, bus groups, scouts, family reunions, 4-H clubs, school groups, and visiting tourists. Our gift and South American wine store is located in the former bottling plant which was built during the 1940's. We offer a wide range of alpaca products from yarn to roving, finished products such as sweaters, hats, mittens, gloves, socks, collectible bears and figurines. Alpaca fiber is 3x warmer than sheep wool and 7x stronger. It is hypoallergenic and has natural thermal and wicking properties.

On a cool summer day, we decided to visit the Alpaca farm - called for an appointment (tour) and settled on a time. On arrival, we were greeted by Laura (retired High School Special Ed teacher) - oh my gosh - this lady talked for over an hour without benefit of notes or a teleprompter and to say that she really, really knows alpacas is an understatement. She covered the history of how and why alpacas came to the US and how they adapted to our environment versus that of Peru. We were provided with an opportunity to pretend to be "inspectors" of recently sheared "fiber" (don't call it fleece or wool) - after much instruction we were told to sort the various offerings into "grades" - 5 choices - from best to worst. Just like a teacher - we were set up for failure. We only got 2 of the 5 correct and were advised not to surrender our day jobs. .. Kevin Stoer (the owner) has a gorgeous, immaculate farm and his prize winning alpacas are evidenced by the overwhelming number of Blue Ribbons achieved in competitions globally. We were afforded an opportunity to feed several of the males which delighted us all. The gift store is still a work-in-process, but there were several really good buys and some extremely interesting uses for the alpaca fiber. Worth the visit and then some - we'll be going back again next year on our Door County tour. By the way - find out how Kevin protects his alpacas from predators - an extremely unique approach to alarm systems. P.S. Considering the $6 tour fee - this is a steal and well worth the time and effort.

This is a great place to see. Old fashioned bar area, a ice cream parlor & a huge wall clock from the early days. Upstairs is a huge hall with a great ceiling. Worth a stop. Even if it is just to get a ice cream cone!

Everyone swears by The Ridges Sanctuary in Door County. But few people know that unique glacial feature - alternation of swales and ridges left by retreating glacial lake - could be seen much closer. So if you live in Milwaukee or Madison, you don't have to drive all the way to Door County to see that - Point Beach is in Two Rivers. The park has beautiful trails; it also hosts Rawley's Point Lighthouse.

Very clean and the concession stand is open in the summer months. Lots of room for parking. Picnic tables available as well. Nice family area.
