Peninsula State Park is one of, if not the oldest state park in Wisconsin. It is certainly worth visiting at any time of the year. Fall colors are spectacular. The best way to see the park is to rent a bike from the rental place immediately outside the park entrance. Lauren and her husband will make you feel welcome and... More

Couldn't help but love it as we luckily timed our arrival as the colors began to peak in the fall. The trails were great for towing our little one while we biked. Well appreciated by many travelers but not overcrowded. Beautiful views of the lake. Able to ride with the family - often the goal for a trip to Door. More

This is a huge park with lots of trails if you are able to spend a couple of days hiking. The Eagle Bluff lighthouse is a nice attraction, but wasn't open for the season yet. There are many campsites available, but we are past the camping stage. More

Peninsula State Park is amazing & offers so much for its visitors! The hiking and biking trails are extensive and well-marked. Our favorite trail there is a hiking trail called "Eagle Trail". There is also great camping, but good luck getting a site unless you make reservations 11 months in advance. We enjoy the beach "Nicolet Beach" but it can... More

We had the intention of driving through the State Park and renting bikes. During our drive, we stopped at Eagle's Bluff and decided to hike the eagle trail. It said it was difficult but being from Chicago, we thought we could manage in our Ked's and nice jackets. The hike was challenging, albeit our hiking "gear", or lack there of,... More
