Pleasant Prairie Outdoor Activities
Families can enjoy the various neighborhood and community parks, open spaces designed for leisurely strolls along walking paths and trails, playground games, and team sports. The parks and trails highlighted below are just a few of the Village’s outdoor gems — unmissable places to enjoy seasonal activities throughout the year.
Prairie Springs Park
Prairie Springs Park is a sprawling 930-acre public park that includes the 110-acre Lake Andrea. The park offers year-round recreation, including:
- Well-kept and lifeguard-protected public beach - lounge on the sand or swim in Lake Andrea's clear, spring-fed waters
- Kayak, standup paddle board, or canoe using your own or rent onsite from Froggy’s Landing Boat Rentals
- Bring your own windsurfing equipment and set sail from the free lakeside launch area
- Enjoy a picnic at one of the many picnic areas throughout the park
- Fish from the shore or on the water during the spring and summer, or try your luck with a cool ice fishing expedition during the winter
- The paved 2.3-mile path around Lake Andrea is a picturesque circuit for visitors who prefer to tread on solid ground
- Hikers can explore the natural Hackbarth Trail which winds through woods and wetlands in the northwestern reaches of Prairie Springs Park or venture north out of the park along the Prairie Farms Trail that is bound by farmland and floodplain on each side
Chiwaukee Prairie
For nature lovers who want a peek at what the frontier looked like to Pleasant Prairie’s first settlers, Chiwaukee Prairie is protected land, untouched by development and preserved as a wildlife habitat. Chiwaukee Prairie is open for hiking and the simple pleasure of experiencing the plants and animals that call this pristine landscape home.
