Enjoy The Peninsula With A Door County Bike Tour

Enjoy The Peninsula With A Door County Bike Tour


by Christine Fisher


Most people are only lucky enough to get one vacation a year unless they are retired or independently wealthy. For that reason they generally plan those vacations very carefully, mapping exactly where they will stay, what they will see, and where they will go. Taking a Door County bike tour is no different. There are many things to think about and decide before you start off on such an adventure.

One of the most obvious considerations you have to take into account is the weather. Wisconsin is, after all, one of the country's northernmost states and the weather is not conducive to extensive cycling all year round. The middle of the summer seems like the ideal time for this type of trip. The temperatures should be fairly mild, not too cold and not too warm. Parks and recreation areas will be open for business and should be fully accessible.

When you are making plans for your tour, your might want to think about Sturgeon Bay. The town is located centrally and could be a great starting place for you. Visitors really enjoy the great maritime museum and the historical museum as well. There are find restaurants, interesting galleries representing local and national artists and a wonderful shoreline that attracts bikers, hikers, and fishermen.

Cana Island Lighthouse is located in Bailey's Harbor just to the north of Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. Once you have cycled up there you can treat yourself to a good look around if you are willing to climb the spiral stairs to the gallery deck. A spectacular view of Lake Michigan and Door Peninsula will make the trek worth it. Apparently water boots are sometimes needed. It would be best to call ahead to find out exactly what the conditions are like.

If you get up to Bailey's Harbor, Kangaroo Lake is a visit you won't want to miss. It is the biggest lake in Door and a pristine wildlife preserve as well. Be sure to take your camera with you to commemorate all the natural beauty this great place has to offer. You will also need to come prepared to rough it as there are no toilets, trash receptacles, or water replenishing in the preserves.

If you keep traveling north to the tip of the peninsula, you will come to Newport State Park, a wilderness designated park, the only one in Wisconsin. It is located at Ellison's Bay and is a popular destination for bikers. Not every trail accommodates bikers however, so you will need some maps to decide which trails to follow.

No tour of this area would be complete without a cherry picking session and the middle of summer is the perfect time for it. There are plenty of orchards happy to provide you with the equipment you will need to gather as many cherries as you want. If you decide to take your trip a little earlier in the year, you will be amazed by the beauty of the blossoming trees.

Touring this magnificent part on the United State is a great idea, and cycling your way around is a wonderful way to do it. It may just make you decide to come back again and again.
