The Experience

Before You Go

Complete the online waiver

You’ll receive an email before the tour—fill out the waiver in advance to save time at the Segway Center on Hwy 42.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy, closed-toe footwear makes mounting and dismounting the Segway easier and safer on gravel pullouts.

Bring a wind layer

Green Bay can be markedly cooler and windier than inland—carry a lightweight jacket even on warm days.

Charge your camera and phone

Stops are photogenic and brief—having a ready camera will help you capture views before the group moves on.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Eagle Tower overlook for 360-degree views of the peninsula
  • Quiet pullouts overlooking the Strawberry Islands—great for small-group photos

Wildlife

  • Bald eagle
  • White-tailed deer

Conservation Note

Segway tours keep group impacts low compared with cars and ATVs; visitors should stay on paved roads and designated pullouts to protect thin, erosion-prone soils.

The park’s recreational footprint expanded in the early 20th century; nearby Ephraim was founded by Moravian settlers in 1853 and the park’s golf course grew from 6 to 18 holes between 1917 and 1931.
