Pinckney is located in southern Livingston County about two miles north of the Washtenaw County line, along M-36. Its economy is supported primarily by small business and is an ideal location as a bedroom community to both the greater Ann Arbor and Lansing areas. During the 1970's, Livingston County was the fastest growing county in Michigan, but 20,000 acres of public land were kept from development to retain the area's natural beauty. The Brighton Island and Pinckney State Recreation areas make this a great county for recreation. Pinckney Recreation Area provides over 11,000 acres with a wide variety of activities for the park visitor including camping, boat rental, volley ball, trails, fishing, swimming, playgrounds, picnic areas, beaches, snowmobiling, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, hunting, canoeing, kayaking, and SO much more. The Village of Pinckney is home to the annual Art in the Park held in the Town Square during the Memorial Weekend holiday. Hundreds of booths are set up for local artists and craftsmen to display and see their art. The Pinckney residents enjoy their own school system and the Pinckney Community Schools received As and Bs on the State Report Card from the Michigan Department of Education. Rolling hills, dozens of lakes, hundreds of acres of state park land, top-rated school systems, easy access to regional shopping centers, fine restaurants and other urban amenities, and a simpler, more laid-back way of life make it an attractive place to live.
