A 11,000-acre park known for its rolling forests, quiet inland lakes, and one of Michigan’s best networks of hiking and biking trails. The eastern half of the 34-mile Waterloo–Pinckney Trail runs through here, linking kettle lakes, ridges, and rustic campgrounds like Blind Lake. With its mix of loop trails, backpacking routes, and lake access, Pinckney is a hub for outdoor adventure and the perfect landscape to end a thru-hike.
