Newport State Park

Newport State Park is located along a rugged shoreline near the northeast end of Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula. Designated a Wilderness Area by the Wisconsin DNR, it offers almost 30 miles of hiking and biking trails. Through boreal forests, wooded uplands, meadows and 11 miles of shoreline, there is something for everyone.

Bike trails consist mostly of hard pack dirt, with occasional rocks and/or roots. These trails are appropriate for hybrid type bikes. Trails are considered easy to moderate, with no great elevation changes. Hiking is also allowed on all bike trails.

About 17 miles of trail are open to off-road bicycles.
