The park's terrain is diverse and challenging with steep hills, rocky paths and occasional muddy patches.

Mountain biking is popular here; however, caution must always be taken due to the rugged nature of some routes.

Riders should note that helmets are mandatory for safety reasons when cycling on state park grounds.

Remember: it's crucial to respect trail signs as certain areas may not permit bicycling activities.

Also consider weather conditions before setting out - wet or icy surfaces could increase risk significantly.

Birders can enjoy a variety of habitats including forest, wetland and lake environments within the park.

Commonly seen birds include warblers, woodpeckers, hawks and waterfowl. Rare sightings may include bald eagles or ospreys.

There are no specific guided tours but self-guided exploration is encouraged with several viewing points available.

A checklist provided by local Audubon societies helps track which species you've observed during your visit.
