Biking

Door County's 100 miles of back road biking have everything from trails through our state parks to country roads through fields and orchards. It's a great way to discover the Door. Free maps are available through the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center.
Mountain bikers particularly enjoy the 15-mile Ahnapee Trail that connects Algoma with Sturgeon Bay. Families and couples enjoy the wooded off-road trails at Peninsula State Park (eight miles), Newport State Park (13 miles), Potawatomi State Park (four miles). Two popular rides in the county are the Ridges Sanctuary Ride in June and the Door County Century Ride in September. Also enjoy local weekly cycling rides - see DC Bikes for info.

For information on bike rentals contact Edge of Park at www.edgeofpark.com or www.nordoorsports.com Both of these stores are located in Fish Creek near the entrance to Peninsula State Park.

Hiking

“Hiking trails abound in the five state parks as well as in many of the smaller county parks. There are multiple trails and loops of trails to choose from in Peninsula and Potawatomi state parks. The 11 miles of trails at Whitefish Dunes State Park include a self-guided tour past replicas of the structures used by Native Americans in the area. Newport State Park, a semi-wilderness area, features 28 miles of trails and is a favorite of backpacking campers and day hikers. Summer is the most popular time for hiking in the Door, but brilliant foliage and cooler temperatures make fall a close second. Spring and winter offer a serenity that can't be found at other times.

Nature lovers will enjoy the unspoiled beauty and rare plants at Toft's Point and the Ridges Sanctuary, both located near Baileys Harbor.

A trip by ferry or boat to Rock Island will link hikers to more than six miles of trails, covering terrain that ranges from sandy beaches to rocky shores to towering bluffs. Pack a lunch and picnic at the lighthouse.”
