There are 4 miles of paved bike path, 6 miles of foot trail, 11 miles for horseback riding and 10 for cross-country skiing. The marked trails are of varying difficulty.
The park has had an active mountain bike club since the mid-1990s. Biking began in the park in the late 80s and with the added help from the club, additions and enhancements to the trails have been very successful.
