Confirmed from Mickelson Fishing Pond's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Mickelson Fishing Pond
“I really need a place to visit in Pierre you can get some good pictures up there it's beautiful”
Beautiful walking-biking trail with playgrounds. Love seeing kids take advantage of the kids fishing area.
A great place for kids to fish and to play on the playground equipment. There is also a very nice cement walking path and a picnic shelter with a very nice and clean grill for that perfect picnic.
