Confirmed from Pigeon River Park'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.

Rustic, kid-friendly destination with walking trails and a river that allows kayaking.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“There is also a nice hiking path that supplies some truly beautiful views.”

Just a small park with trails and water access. Plenty of spots for fishing, kayaking, hiking and biking

★★★★★ — Jasterbobafett , Feb 2025

Nice little park. No restrooms, basically a canoe or kayak launching site. Perhaps a trail connects here also.

★★★★☆ — Melvin , Jun 2025

This is a gem in Sheboygan. Beautiful nature walk with lots of wild life. Deer, ducks, turkey, seagulls, pelicans, squirrel, cranes, various birds, and we even saw a bald eagle. The fishing is decent here as well, especially if you go with waders.

★★★★★ — Paul , Jun 2022

Nice area, great area for kayaking, no idea for fishing but talked to a few fishing there and nothing. But overall nice little area with trail would recommend to bring bug stray the horseflies and deer flies are killer lol.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
