Peninsula State Park

Peninsula State Park in Door County, Wisconsin, stretches along eight miles of Green Bay shoreline and ranks as the state’s third largest and one of its busiest parks. Chosen after a 1908 site tour and established in 1909, it was created as an affordable public retreat, with early development focused on roads, lookouts, campgrounds, and golf despite a small budget. Over time it grew into a major Midwest destination while reflecting debates over conservation and park development. Its notable features include Eagle Bluff Light, observation towers, Horseshoe Island, extensive camping and trails, golf, a nature center, and Northern Sky Theater.
