#1 PIKE RIVER PATHWAY

PIKE RIVER PATHWAY is part of the Pike River Improvements PROJECT.

The Mount Pleasant Storm Water Drainage Utility District is continuing its multi-year, multi-phase project to restore the riverine environment along the Pike River within the Village limits. The project involves roughly 5.2 miles of the Pike River within a 17 square mile drainage basin. To date, roughly 450 acres of land have been purchased by and donated to the District within the river corridor.

In addition to controlling flooding, the project will restore natural stream features, enhance the aquatic habitat, improve water quality, and reverse the progressive deterioration of this urbanizing stream. Native prairie vegetation and trees have been planted and have begun to thrive throughout the project area, providing a natural corridor along the river.

This section of the Bike Path runs from Highway 11 south to the county line road.
