Peninsula State Park
Door County's most popular state park, combining lakeshore cliffs, the Eagle Tower viewpoint, a lighthouse and a summer outdoor theatre.
Peninsula State Park lies between Fish Creek and Ephraim, covering about 1,500 hectares with 13 km of Green Bay shoreline. The Eagle Tower, rebuilt in 2021, stands about 18 metres tall and has a wheelchair-accessible ramp. It overlooks Horseshoe Island and the Michigan peninsula across the water. The park also has the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, an 18-hole golf course, Nicolet Bay beach and the Sunset Bike Trail, a loop trail for cycling. In summer, outdoor theatre performances are held. Vehicles require a Wisconsin State Park day pass (about USD 16 for out-of-state vehicles). It's best to cycle or drive around the park for a half day.
