The park has 10.5 miles of bridle trails, 22 miles of hiking trails, 9 miles of bike trials and Appalachian Trail access.
This park offers year-round primitive hike-in tent camping, for which reservations are encouraged. Walk-in honor camping is only available for one night at a time. Those wishing to camp here will need to hike 1 mile from the overnight parking area. Bicycles can be used to get to the campground.
