Basic Information
Pike Wild River
Location and Directions
The Pike Wild River runs from the mouth of the Pike River (T 34N, R 21E, section 3) upstream to the headwater branches — one branch beginning at the outlet of Coleman Lake (T 36N, R18E, section 17), and the other branch beginning at the outlet of North Pond (T 37N, R 18E, section 20).
The Pike River can be accessed through public lands owned by the DNR or Marinette County. Roadside parking within a short hike to the river is the most common means of access. Minimally maintained, signed pull-offs and small parking areas are also available on state lands along the course of the river. Three developed parking lots exist to facilitate canoe/kayak access for the most popular run; they are found at the U.S. Highway 141 bridge, County Highway K bridge and the Pike River Road/Barker Road bridge.
Hours
