On behalf of staff and friends of Peninsula State Park, welcome!
VISION, according to Merriam Webster, is "the act or power imagination; the mode of seeing or conceiving; unusual discernment or foresight.”
In 2009 we celebrate the vision of people who created a system of Wisconsin state parks. One hundred years ago, they selected the system’s first member, a 3700-acre “peninsula” comprised of woods, cobblestone beaches and wetlands. Millions of visitors came to escape urban homes in search of serenity, scenery and solitude.
If you have been away from this landscape for a long time, rest assured that Peninsula continues to be what it always has been—a place where woods and wildlife beckon, where stars and fresh air prevail, where families and friends gather memories for years to come. What a sound investment for the future of us all.
Peninsula has been the source of 100 Years of Memories. In 2009, I invite you back to Peninsula to celebrate its first 100 years, as this is only the beginning.
