Try Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, And More At This One Wisconsin Park

One of Wisconsin’s busiest state parks is the place to go for active summer fun. Peninsula State Park becomes a bustling playground in the summer and while it’s a place that’s great for relaxing in the sun, it’s also perfect for people who like to enjoy summer on the move. Just head to Nicolet Beach and choose your own adventure: fun on the water or fun on the trails. Here’s what’s waiting for you in this popular state park in Wisconsin.

Peninsula State Park is one of the most-visited state parks in Wisconsin, drawing about a million visitors every year. When you arrive at the park, you’ll know why – it’s located in the heart of Door County, between Ephraim and Fish Creek, two scenic and popular vacation villages.

The state park covers more than 3,700 acres and it has eight miles of shoreline. In fact, it’s the third-largest state park in Wisconsin. There’s plenty of room to find peace and tranquility, even on a busy summer weekend.

But the center of action in the park is Nicolet Beach. This pretty little stretch of sand swarms with visitors on warm summer days and it has an outfitter so it’s the place to go to launch an adventure in the park.

To get started, head to Nicolet Beach Camp Store & Rentals. This longtime shop has everything the park’s campers need, from basic groceries and cold beverages, to hot coffee in the morning.

And they rent just about everything! To get you on the water, they offer canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, inflatables, and special bikes you can ride on the water. The protected bay is ideal for these small vessels.

The store also rents bikes that will help you explore the park’s expansive trails and roads. Bike to a historic lighthouse or up to one of the state’s most scenic lookout spots. Paddle or bike: your time in the park will be unforgettable!
