August 3 Summers of Joy by Quilting Pat
I first spent the summer of 1934 in the park, and spent every summer until 1950. My father designed a canvas cabin and we would go up Memorial Day and come home on Labor Day. Dad worked at Western Electric in Cicero Illinois, and he had vacation last 2 weeks in July and first week in August. He would come up and spend that time with us, and we would go fishing etc. During the summer we would pick cherries at 5 cents a bucket. We would have to pick at least two buckets to go to Ephraim to the movies and have popcorn and a drink. The movie was shown at the city hall and was a big treat for us. We would hitchhike to Ephraim and usually someone would drive you back to camp. There was a trail from Nicolet Bay to below the tower. We would have what was called a slumgulion, every one would bring a can of fruit and we would put it in a bucket and then everyone would get a can back. some times it was good. This September I will be visiting and reliving my wonderful time spent here. It is on my bucket list
March 2 Our favorite in Wisconsin by The Lefebvre Family
We loved visiting here at different times of year until we moved to PA. Summer with trails, biking, and cross country skiing in winter. Beautiful town of Fish Creek, and other towns to visit nearby, with galleries, restaurants, snack areas, etc. People were extremely friendly, honest, and trusting. Our rented equipment for skiing was returned to the yard of the store-since the business was not open when we were done skiing. Another shopowner had me take a sweater for my husband to try on since he was not with me, and I had not paid for it yet! She said to come back and pay if I wanted it, or to return it, and of course I bought it. My parents honeymooned there long ago, and later met my husband and I there for a wonderful vacation at a motel next to the park. Enjoyed it all!
December 8 Our Favorite Park by The Bubolz Family
What a great place! We come every summer for two weeks. We have nine children so this is quite a trip. The great thing about Peninsula is that is has something for everyone. It has a decent beach, good family parks, wonderful biking/hiking trails, golf, and good sites. We love it and have already started talking about the trip in July (its December 8th!). I would highly recommend this park to any family. Make sure to get a reservation.
