Kohler-Andrae State Park

Kohler-Andrae State Park is a unified pair of Wisconsin state parks along Lake Michigan south of Sheboygan, combining beaches, rolling dunes, woods, wetlands, and the Black River across 988 acres. Its origins date to 1924, when Frank Theodore “Terry” Andrae bought sandy lakeshore land unsuited to farming, and after his death his widow Elsbeth donated 122 acres to the state, leading to Terry Andrae State Park’s opening in 1928. A major 1966 land donation by the Kohler Company created John Michael Kohler State Park to the north, and later additions enlarged the combined property. The park protects fragile shoreline habitat, including threatened plants, and offers trails, camping, and year-round recreation.
