Peninsula State Park and Weborg Point
Weborg Point and Peninsula Park Beech
Forest State Natural Area are two exceptional sites
within the 3,776-acre boundary of
Peninsula State Park. Weborg Point is a
mixture of sedge meadow, conifer forest
and open water facing Strawberry
Channel. It provides habitat for all types
of water birds including herons and
egrets, gulls, shorebirds, and Marsh
Wrens. The Beech Forest SNA straddles
the Niagara escarpment. Dry forest
dominates the edge of the escarpment,
while mesic forest of American beech,
sugar maple and hemlock are found on
the uplands overlooking Green Bay.
Peninsula State Park also contains 9 miles
of bike trails, 20 miles of hiking trails,
