Pipke Park

This beautiful walking/birding area near town encircles two ponds. These ponds were used in the logging era to float logs and most recently as a walleye rearing facility. The trail begins near 11662 County Road W. Drive in and left to the parking area, where you will find a new pavilion with rest rooms and a picnic area, available both summer and winter. From the parking area you can walk around the pond passing the children’s fishing pier, exercise stations, wildflowers and wildlife. In winter, the heated pavilion will be available for skiers, snowshoers and skaters. An area near the pavilion will be cleared for skating. You can also enjoy this trail as part of the Presque Isle/Winchester Bike Route.
