EPHRAIM

Ephraim is Door County’s storybook harbor, tucked along the Green Bay shoreline, Ephraim is instantly recognizable for its pristine white buildings, Scandinavian heritage, and sweeping waterfront views. Founded in 1853 by Norwegian Moravians, it still retains a timeless, peaceful quality yet offers easy access to water activities, arts, and nearby Peninsula State Park.

It’s the kind of place where you might start your morning with coffee overlooking the harbor, spend the afternoon kayaking, and end with an unforgettable sunset from Eagle Harbor. Unspoiled Harbor views, the waterfront is almost entirely unobstructed, perfect for photos and sunsets. The architecture and traditions tie back to its Norwegian founders. Ephraim has such a peaceful quiet charm about it and is centraling located minutes away from more bustling towns like Fish Creek and Sister Bay.
