Door County's Peninsula State Park: Camping, Hiking and Sightseeing in the Great State of Wisconsin

Peninsula State Park, the third largest state park in Wisconsin, provides some of the best sightseeing in Door County. Visitors will find the park situated in Fish Creek, an unincorporated community of Door County, along the Bay of Green Bay. The 3776 acre state park became established in 1908, offering something for everyone, year round. Hiking, biking, camping, golfing, and swimming are just some of the activities visitors can enjoy during the spring, summer, and fall months. If visiting in the winter months, you can enjoy snowmobiling, sledding, cross country skiing, and even snowshoeing. A trail pass is required for those who are biking, in-line skating, and cross country skiing on designated trails. All motor vehicles that enter the state park will require an admission sticker. You may purchase an annual sticker, which is valid for all Wisconsin state parks and forests for the year, or a daily sticker, which is valid only for the day when purchased. Tickets are available at the park entrance, or may be purchased online in advance.

Don't forget your camera when visiting Peninsula State Park. You will have many opportunities to capture some of the most beautiful scenery along Lake Michigan's Green Bay shorelines. An excellent picture taking spot is located atop the 75 foot tall Eagle tower, perched on a 180 foot limestone bluff. You'll be able to view the Green Bay Islands as well as the Michigan shoreline on a day with good visibility. The wind blows quite strong at this location, so remember to hold on while taking photos. Sunsets at Peninsula State Park are breathtaking, offering another wonderful photo opportunity.
