This trailhead sits beside Pickerel Lake, an 80-acre undeveloped lake in Pinckney Recreation Area. The lake is a serene retreat, ringed by unspoiled forest and wetlands, with no buildings or development along its shore. From here, hikers can step directly into wilderness, using the trailhead as both an access point for the Waterloo–Pinckney Trail and a gateway to quiet exploration around Pickerel Lake.

A raised wooden boardwalk carrying the Waterloo–Pinckney Trail across a marsh just west of Hankerd Road. This stretch offers a glimpse into Pinckney’s wetland habitat, where cattails, shrubs, and standing dead trees attract marsh birds and amphibians. It’s both a practical crossing and a scenic change of pace, immersing hikers in one of the park’s most vibrant ecosystems.

Set about halfway along the 17-mile Potawatomi Trail loop in Pinckney Recreation Area, Blind Lake is a hike-in only campground with 10 rustic sites. Each site has a fire ring, with vault toilets and a hand pump for water nearby. Campers must check in at the park office on the day of arrival, and stays are limited to one night. Reservations are available online, but same-day arrivals are first-come, first-served.

Beautiful and very idyllic

Great trails converging right here

Very sandy section of the trail, a bit of a challenge with gravel tires but no issue for an MTB

Rail road crossing, short break for a selfie?
