Pigeon Creek Park is 282 acres with another 130 adjacent acres of County Open Space land. Over ten miles of ski trails and snowshoe trails wind through old pine plantations, mature deciduous forests, and bottomland forests along the Pigeon River. The park is a popular cross-country ski destination with groomed trails for both classic and ski skating. Ski trails are groomed, tracked, and reset as needed throughout the day. A sledding hill is also provided. Three miles of ski trails and the sledding hill are illuminated for evening use. The Pigeon Creek Lodge provides ski rental, a food and beverage concession, and serves as a warming house. Hiking, dogs, biking, snowshoeing, and horseback riding are not allowed on groomed cross-country ski trails.
