About this swimming hole
Cave Point County Park is Door County's cliff-jumping headquarters, where Lake Michigan has carved sea caves and ledges into the dolomite shoreline. Jumpers pick their ledge and drop into deep, startlingly clear water. Even non-jumpers come for the blowholes, wave-watching, and some of the best sunset views in the county.
