Dear Skipper,
 
We are camping in Peninsula State Park next weekend.  Can you please recommend a fun trail for my family to hike?  My family loves to be outside.  The kids in our family are 10, 12 and 14 years old.  My brother likes a challenge and would like a hike that has a lot of climbs and drops.  Otherwise he gets bored just walking along. I like a pretty view when I am hiking. What can you recommend for us?
 
Sincerely,

Dear Addyson,
 
I’m sure you will have so much fun on your camping trip.  If you didn’t know this already, Otters love camping!  I just got back from a camping trip myself, and I had a wonderful time!
 
My favorite trail in Peninsula Park is the Eagle Trail.  It sounds like that would be a good trail for your family to hike, as well.  It is the hardest trail in Peninsula Park, but it seems perfect for a family like yours.  The view is beautiful the whole way and your brother will definitely get a challenging hike!  Be sure to bring plenty of water—you will need it!
 
Some other fun things to do while you are camping are going to the beach and riding bikes around the park.  Peninsula has a beautiful beach—Nicolet beach—with lots of sand, clear water, and a pretty view.  If you can bring bicycles on your trip, be sure to ride around the park—it is a great way to get exercise and explore!  If you will not be bringing your bikes, there are two rental businesses right by the park,  where you can rent bikes for the whole family.
 
Have a wonderful camping trip, Addyson!

Your friend,
Skipper

Skipper's expertise is in life outdoors, but he will also address questions about other topics such as food, school issues, sports, getting along with others, family pets, etc. So what's your question?

Questions for Skipper are due one week in advance of the publication of his column, that is, Wednesdays, so that he has ample time to ponder, research, and respond intelligently.
