Mark Hoffman Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

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.

Wetland Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

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.
