A $150,000 Community Investment Grant has paved the way to start construction in September on the first public, purpose-built, mountain bike trail system in Door County.
That’s the word from Friends of Peninsula State Park leaders Bill Penoyer and Brian Fitzgerald, who said the Destination Door County grant pushed fundraising to the $650,000 mark to start construction in September on approximately 15 miles of singletrack mountain bike trails in the park.
Those funds for the $1.2 million mountain biking routes came before the Friends launched a public fundraising campaign, said Penoyer, Friends board member.
It’s exciting news for those who have long sought better trails at Peninsula, and a serious place to ride off-road in Northern Door County.
