Pigeon Creek Park
Tucked away in the middle of the county, this park offers a quiet retreat
for the outdoor enthusiast. Pigeon Creek Park is 282 acres with another 150
adjacent acres of County Open Space land. Over 10 miles of trails wind through
old pine plantations, mature deciduous forests and through bottomland forests
along the Pigeon River. The trail system includes designated trails for hiking,
biking and equestrian use and a 0.9 mile trail loop that is generally within
barrier free standards. During the winter, this park is a popular cross country
ski destination with groomed trails for both classic and ski skating. A sledding
hill is also provided. Three miles of ski trails and the sledding hill have
lights for night use. The Pigeon Creek Lodge provides ski rental, a food and
beverage concession and serves as a warming house (open limited hours).
Hiking, biking, snowshoeing and horseback riding are NOT allowed on groomed cross country ski trails.
