For an athletic adventure, bike mile after scenic mile of the paved path that is the Kenosha County Bike Trail. The path can be taken from Pleasant Prairie north to Kenosha or south to the Illinois border and beyond. Fun fact: the path was paved over retired train tracks! This is just one of our many trails in Pleasant Prairie. There’s no better way to take in our lush terrain than by planning to pitstop at one of our neighborhood bars along the way!
No textbooks here, but plenty of learning to do. Come visit the Chiwaukee Prairie. A rare example of untouched midwestern landscape, the Chiwaukee Prairie boasts over 400 beautiful, preserved acres where grasslands, wetlands, and dunes intersect.

You haven’t experienced the outdoors like this before!
