| Description: |
To visit the Bullhead Point City Park in Sturgeon Bay: Head north on N. Duluth Ave. Keep going straight on Duluth Ave. when Cty Road C turns east. Bullhead Point will be on the right, across from the old stone quarry which is on the left.
In 1931 three abandoned vessels were burned to the waterline at Bullhead Point. These well-worn remnants of the once thriving limestone fleet were last owned by the Sturgeon Bay Stone Company. The hulls of the vessels Ida Corning, Oak Leaf, and Empire State lie just offshore from the point and remain visible at low water. Perfect for snorkelers, they are in 0 to 10 feet of water.
