Detroit Harbor is a small place in Wisconsin, USA. It's not a city or town with its own government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called the Town of Washington Island. This community is located on Washington Island itself, which is in Door County.
Detroit Harbor is an important spot for people traveling to and from Washington Island. It's where the Washington Island Ferry operates. This ferry provides regular trips for passengers and vehicles. It connects Detroit Harbor to Northport, which is on the mainland.
Besides the ferry, Detroit Harbor has a United States Post Office. This means people living there can send and receive mail easily. It's also home to a Coast Guard Station. The Coast Guard helps keep the waters safe for boats and people.
Right next to the community, there's a bay also called Detroit Harbor. This bay is a natural harbor, offering shelter for boats.
