Outdoor Activities

A favorite Door County activity. There are spots in Fish Creek to rent bicycles or bring your own to enjoy the nearby trails in Peninsula State Park.

Are you training for an upcoming race? Or can you just not live without that morning run? The back roads of Door County and the trails near Parkwood Lodge are so great that we even have the cross-county team from UW Madison come and train in the fall. So bring your running shoes and hit the road.
We recommend the Hairpin Run on July 4th and the Hey, Hey 5K on September 21st!
Another popular event is the Fall 50 on October 26th, teams and individuals run 50 miles up and down the peninsula, Gills Rock to Sturgeon Bay!

Whether you bring your own, rent one while your here or go on a tour with one of our local Kayak Tour operators. You will find the waterways of Door County ideal for an afternoon paddle. We recommend the rental at Nicolet Beach in Peninsula State Park near Parkwood Lodge. You can paddle around the beach area or if you are adventurous head to Horseshoe Island.
