State parks preparing to welcome summer
State parks across Wisconsin are busy wrapping up projects preparing to welcome visitors this summer. Friends groups have been organizing weekend clean-up days to prepare trails and campgrounds for the millions of visitors planning to spend time at state parks. Peninsula State Park will get its fair share of those guests as Wisconsin's second-most visited state park with just over 1.3 million people. Park Superintendent Eric Hyde says that despite the lack of snow, there was plenty of activity over the winter and early spring months. In addition to cyclists exploring the park's new mountain biking trails, Hyde says they have been hard at work with $2 million worth of projects to improve the visitor experience.
