Confirmed from Pike River Trail System'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.
Nature preserve with a loop trail popular for walking and biking.

Great place for a bike ride. Paved off road trail from Spring Street in Mount Pleasant thru Petrifying Springs Park in Kenosha
This is a nice paved trail system the somewhat follows the (small) Pike River. Convenient parking. Very suitable for ADA or strollers. I've waked it a dozen times or more. Friendly others. Even saw a green heron (and a blue heron) once.
Walk here with my family really nice and it 2.1 miles so not that long and Quiet
Nice paved trail very nice friendly people along the way. Perfect for just getting away from all the countries nonsense. Highly recommend. Will see how the winter turns out sounds like everything else in Racine where nothing is maintained.
