Biking & Bike Trails in Door County

Glidden Drive
Glidden Drive takes cyclists along the eastern shoreline, starting just south of Whitefish Dunes State Park. The total ride is about six miles, but if you're looking for additional mileage you can switch over to County Road T or TT and ride west toward Sturgeon Bay, where you'll be treated to views of the canal.

Bay Shore Drive
This smooth, paved route is approximately 13 miles long and hugs the western shoreline as it takes bikers from Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay to Frank E. Murphy Park in Egg Harbor.

County Road Q
County Road Q begins a little north of Bailey’s Harbor, not far from The Ridges. Take this forested route north, winding past the Mud Lake State Wildlife Area, Moonlight Bay, North Bay, and more, eventually letting out in Ephraim. The entire stretch is about nine miles and has multiple view points for admiring the lake, including the turn off for access to Cana Island.

Washington Island
Bring your bike and hop the ferry to this island with 100 miles of pavement to explore. If you don't have a bike, you can rent one on the island. Plan your route around seeing historic churches, beaches, lavender fields, lake views, and deep green forest.

Know Before You Go
Whether on the road or on the trail, always wear a helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Keep your group, yourself, and others safe by always riding in control and within your group’s limits. On the road, ride with the flow of traffic and be aware of your surroundings. Stay out of drivers' blind spots, especially at traffic lights or stop signs. 

Share the Trails and Roads
When biking in Door County, stick to durable surfaces, including established trails, dirt roads, and pavement. Riding off the trail, especially to avoid wet or muddy areas, can cause erosion and damage vegetation. Sticking to established trails and roads will also help prevent riders from disturbing wildlife. 

Respect other trail and road users and protect the quality of their experience. Yield to hikers and equestrians. Be prepared to stop and dismount if the trail is narrow or crowded. On the trail, yield to uphill traveling cyclists when descending. When encountering slower traffic, announce your presence with a friendly greeting or bell to avoid startling other visitors. Share the road and ride single file so that cars can pass.
