Over 15 miles of trails wind along the park’s ridges and hollows, over old roadbeds, alongside the lakeshores, and beside cemeteries and remnants from early settlements; within the park, bicycles are allowed on the paved roads only, but there are miles of less-traveled country roads surrounding the park that can provide hours of scenic road riding; three backcountry campsites are hike-in only; 49-acre Big Ridge Lake with a beach, sand volleyball, tennis, horseshoe, basketball, softball fields; row boat rentals available; paddlers and anglers can access Norris Lake at the boat launch just outside the park’s entrance. This is a great start location for cyclists to ride the scenic backroads.
