The park is considered Wisconsin's most complete state park, featuring a sand swimming beach at Nicolet Bay with volleyball courts, playground equipment, and a camp store. Visitors can rent boats and bikes at Nicolet Beach, launch canoes and kayaks at Tennison Bay, or fish from accessible piers. The park offers over 20 miles of biking trails, nearly 30 miles of groomed ski trails for winter use, and an 18-hole golf course. Additional attractions include Eagle Tower for panoramic views (open seasonally May through October), a historic lighthouse, and eight miles of scenic Door County shoreline along Green Bay. Tennison Bay campground remains open year-round for winter camping enthusiasts, with electric hookups available and water accessible at the well house on the main road. The dump station operates May through October and is closed seasonally November through April.
