1. Wreck of the Mueller Take 42-57 north of Sturgeon Bay to BB (Gordon Road) by the gas station, convenience mart, restaurant. It is about 3 miles to Cty B which follows the bay north of Sturgeon Bay. Take County B 3-4 miles north to the gravel driveway just before Quarry Co. Park. The wreck of the Mueller lies just off the shore on the south side, parallel to the shore line. Depth drops to about 12-14' along the side of the wreck.

2. Wreck of the Hurd The next driveway north of the Mueller site is the wreck of the Hurd. This is at Quarry Co. Park. It’s a very nice park with restrooms. Enter at boat launch and go south along the water’s edge to wreck. It’s easy to get to far from shore and miss this one. Watch for fishermen along shore. Wreck is about 200' south from boat launch. It is only a few yards off shore just before the steel sheathing starts. Wreckage 5-20' depth.

3. Quarry County Park Boat Launch Instead of going south to the wreck of the Hurd, go north following the rock ledge. This meets the sand at about 15-18' depth. Deeper out a little farther extending about 100 yards off shore at 5-10' depth just north of the boat launch. This area is protected from east and northeast winds.

4. Frank E. Murphy County Park Travel north along shoreline on County B about another 10-12 miles to Murphy Park. Enter on north side of pier. Dive along concrete breakwall. This is a flat rocky bottom changing to sand after going out a ways. There are some wagon wheels out at about 23'. Stay clear of fishermen on breakwall. After the dive enjoy the park.

5. Cave Point Take 57 north of Sturgeon Bay about 6-7 miles to Cty WD (Clark’s Lake Road). Go east to Cave Point Drive. Follow signs to Cave Point County Park. This is a very scenic area with a nice park. Equipment must be hauled down a 10' bluff. A little teamwork works well. This is a very interesting shore line with sea caves and outcroppings. This is a shallow dive but a favorite shore dive of many. This is a shallow dive not deeper than 20' for a couple hundred yards out.

6. Jacksonport Take Hwy 57 12 miles north of Sturgeon Bay to the town of Jacksonport. There is a park right in town. Entry can be made from either side of the house in the park. Stay clear of private property. The pilings from the old pier as well as the wreck are directly in front of the house. They start in 6-8' of water. Everything is shallow–if you get out deeper than 13' you are out too far. This is a very interesting dive with a lot of wreckage to explore. Visibility is usually good; however, any wind from the northeast to south can stir things up in a hurry.
