Sunset Trail

Dogs No Dogs

E-Bikes Allowed

You'll need a park pass to gain entrance to the park if you have a vehicle. You DO NOT need a trail pass for this trail. There are some off-road/mountain bike trails in this park, but you'll need a trail pass for those. The passes can be picked up at the ranger station at the entrance of the park.

If you do not have a bike but want to bike the trail, no problem. NorDoor is right across the road from the park entrance and will rent you a bike. I saw many of the rental bikes from NorDoor on the trail -- very popular.

If you have kids that will be biking on their own bike, there are two steep hills. For me, I got up to 36 mph just coasting down one of the hills. Both are paved sections that also could have cars driving on them. The paved parts of the trail did not have cars when I was riding, but there is potential.

This trail is managed by the Wisconsin DNR. It is a hardpack dirt/gravel trail on the first half to the most northern point. After this part, it is paved roads back to the entry/parking of the park. You'll run into hikers and bikers going in both directions. Bikers must ride single-file in parts or the trail.

Once you are on the trail on the left side, you'll be able to see the lake and get some nice views. Near the top of the of the trail, you'll be able to park your bike and take a look and possibly a tour of the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. After the lighthouse on the right side of the tip of the trail, there is a campsite/beach that people use. There is food and restrooms in this area.

On the way back to the entrance, it is paved road, but that does not take away from the nature aspect; you are still surrounded by trees and nature. On my trip around the trail, I saw deer and other wildlife.
