To inform the public and mountain biking community about upcoming trail projects – and fundraising – at Peninsula State Park, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will hold an open house 4-7 pm, April 16, in the Gibraltar Town Hall.

The Northern Lake Michigan Coastal Master Plan, publicly reviewed and approved in 2018 by the Natural Resources Board, authorizes several improvements to the trails at Peninsula State Park to improve trail sustainability and the visitor experience.

Old trails to be closed appear in orange, and proposed new or refurbished trails for Phase I in white and Phase II in yellow. DNR map.

Upcoming changes include the construction of segments of accessible trail, the removal of unsustainable trails within wetlands and the addition of mountain bike trails.

Now through May 2, the DNR welcomes questions about the project. Inquiries can be sent to Eric Hyde, Peninsula State Park Superintendent, at [email protected].

More details are available on Peninsula’s webpage at tinyurl.com/2n72wnae.

Gibraltar’s town hall is located at 4097 Main St., Fish Creek.
