Southern Door County and parts of Brown and Kewaunee counties form one of the most unique cultural landscapes in Wisconsin. In the 1850s, Belgian immigrants settled here and built new communities. Their farms, chapels, churches, and distinctive brick homes still shape the countryside today.

Sugar Creek in Southern Door County
Sugar Creek flows quietly through the countryside of southern Door County near the small community of Brussels, Wisconsin. Surrounded by farmland, wetlands, and wooded areas, the creek provides a peaceful place to explore nature and observe wildlife throughout the seasons.
After heavy rain, the creek runs clear and lively over its rocky bed, creating small cascades and reflections that are especially interesting for photography. The surrounding wetlands and shoreline habitats also support a variety of birds and native plants.
