Peninsula State Park
Door County, Wisconsin
Each year over one million people visit Peninsula State Park. Considered Wisconsin's most complete park, Peninsula offers 468 campsites, three group camps, a summer theater, an 18-hole golf course, sand beach, bike trails, a lighthouse and eight miles of Door County shoreline. The rollicking waves that skip towards Peninsula's sky high bluffs enhance already spectacular scenery.
Peninsula State Park protects over eight miles of scenic shoreline.

Peninsula's impressive bluffs are part of the Niagara Escarpment. The Wisconsin State Legislature proclaimed 2010 the Year of the Niagara Escarpment. Peninsula protects Wisconsin's largest contiguous tract of this geologic feature. At Peninsula, see the bluffs by hiking the Eagle Trail, climbing the 75-foot tower or kayaking along the shore.
