Hen Island is reflected in the water of Fish Creek Bay in this view from Nelson Point in Peninsula State Park. The homes and businesses of Fish Creek are in the background. At far left is the Hotz boathouse, with white door, and the bathhouse behind. The white two-story building seen just to the right of the island is the Nook Hotel; the Fish Creek dock with its warehouse is in front of the hotel. Dr. Welcker's casino is the large building with gabled roof and porch at far right. Gus Papke's house is near the shore at the far right.
