Peninsula State Park
Biking on the Sunset Bike Trail at Peninsula State Park. Wisconsin Department of Tourism.Sunset Bike route (9.6 miles)
Starting near the Fish Creek entrance to the Park, the fine gravel on the relatively flat Sunset Trail accommodates bicycles, wheelchairs and hikers. The trail traverses Weborg Marsh, cedar and maple trees and cliff communities. The Sunset Bike Route connects to a return route at Nicolet Beach for four additional miles on the Park's scenic back roads. Remember to use extreme caution on all hills and curves and always ride single-file. Adult and youth bike rentals are available in Fish Creek and at the Nicolet Beach concession stand.
Hidden Bluff is a scenic 0.75-mile spur of the Sunset Trail, providing access to the nature center and a shortcut for bicyclists traveling to and from Nicolet Bay.
Mountain biking trails (20 miles)
In partnership with the Friends of Peninsula State Park, Rock Solid Trail Contracting and Progressive Trail Design constructed 20 miles of new purpose-built mountain bike trails in 2024 and 2025. These mountain bike trails have segments suitable for all users, from beginners to experts and are constructed through varying environments from rolling hills to rugged terrain. A state trail pass is required for riders age 16 and older. For updated trail conditions and downloadable georeferenced biking maps, please see:
In-line skating
In-line skating is prohibited on Shore and Bluff Roads and all roads within the Town of Gibraltar (Fish Creek area). However, it is allowed on Peninsula's interior roads, including Skyline, Middle, Mengelberg and Highland Roads. Peninsula has rolling terrain with steep ascents and descents, creating a challenge for even the most experienced in-line skater.
