Peninsula State Park

Trails

Due to wet conditions the Sunset Bike Trail is closed to biking and hiking. Interior roads are good options for either biking or hiking at this time. This is a great time of year to walk along Shore Road past Weborg Marsh to do a little birding. Access to Eagle Bluff Lighthouse is now available and tours will start in late May.
