Default Wisconsin Motorcycle Memorial Park

The wife and I took a ride up to Sturgeon Bay,WI last Friday. One of our stops was to visit the Wisconsin Motorcycle Memorial Park. It was founded in 2004 by a local MC the Devils Knights.

It is not huge but it is a very nice tribute to the fallen riders from Wisconsin. The pathways are paved with stones engraved with hundreds of names of fallen riders. Some have club association and some don't. As I walked through the park reading the stones I was saddened by all the names. Well worth a visit if your ever in the area.

4758 Mathey Road, Sturgeon Bay, WI

Looks like a great tribute. I would love to have a couple of those benches.

I've always wondered about that place, just never took the time to stop. I will stop next time I pass through there. Thanks for the info.

The signage for the park is very limited. We were on our to Fishcreek and happened on it. It's worth the stop for a tribute to the fallen.

Yeah thanks for passing this information on, I have never heard of this memorial. I will definitely stop the next time I go to Door County.

Your right about the signs. Not very big and just right before the turn almost to close.
