Deland Park Lakefront on Lake Michigan

The Lake Michigan Shoreline

This camera captures Sheboygan's Deland Park lakefront, where a curving rock breakwater of tumbled limestone boulders meets one of the world's largest freshwater lakes. The open water stretches to a flat, uninterrupted horizon typical of the Great Lakes.

A Freshwater Coast in Wisconsin

Sheboygan sits on the western shore of Lake Michigan, and its protected shoreline draws walkers, anglers and paddlers to the rugged edge of the lake. The park's boulder revetment shields the coast while framing a classic maritime scene.

Life Along the Waterfront

Beyond the rocks, small craft and the occasional larger vessel trace paths across the water, and the evergreen plantings at the park's edge soften the view. It is a living portrait of a Midwestern lake city and its enduring bond with the Great Lakes.
