Newport State Park

Enjoy fantastic sunrises and sunsets at this state park bordering Lake Michigan.

Newport State Park is located north of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and it overlooks Lake Michigan. It features 11-miles of shoreline, 17 hike-in campsites, 30 miles of hiking trails, and a serene forest. Anglers with current Wisconsin fishing licenses are welcome to fish along Europe Bay. Hikers can explore Europe Bay Trail Loop, which is 7-miles long (the longest hiking trail in the park). It follows old logging roads up to the northern end of the park. Those needing a paved trail can take the Fern/Europe Bay Trail Loop, a 1.2-mile ADA-accessible path near the parking located east of the park office. Winter recreation such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also available here. 

Park hours are 6 am to 11 pm year-round. Newport State Park encompasses the tip of Door County and is the perfect place for stargazing. It is recognized as a dark sky park and is the second of its kind in the midwestern U.S. Anyone that loves backpacking, camping, and hiking should head to Newport State Park.
