Door County is home to dozens of miles of bike-friendly trails that will take you within view of bluffs, cliffsides, forests, shorelines, waterways, and other fantastic scenery.

Save this list of bike trails for your next ride up in the peninsula:

🚲 Newport State Park has seven bike-friendly trails that provide views of Lake Michigan, Europe Lake, Rowley's Bay, islands, cliffs, and forest. Newport's biking trails can get muddy and rocky, so be ready to do some work.

🚲 Between the 9.6-mile Sunset Bike Route and an additional 12 miles of rugged off-road terrain, Peninsula State Park is a huge cycling destination in Wisconsin. The park offers bike rentals for both kids and adults.

🚲 Bike across eight miles of off-road trails with varied terrain and forest and lake views at Potawatomi State Park. Cyclists may also bike on any park roads.

🚲 The Red Trail at Whitefish Dunes State Park has five miles of packed biking trail. You'll pass by forests, sand dunes, including Old Baldy, the tallest sand dune in the park.

🚲 The historic Ahnapee Trail begins in Sturgeon Bay and runs for about 48 miles, taking you past two rivers, several towns, and a mix of farmland, prairies, forest, woods, and wildlife.
