A trail guide publication is available at the park. All of the trails are fairly short in length (1/8-7/8 mile), but many trail routes may be combined for hikes of varying lengths and difficulty. The 14 hiking trails that crisscross nearly 5 miles of rugged mountain terrain provide the opportunity to explore the park's giant rock formations and scenic overlooks. Overlooking the lake, the gift shop features Kentucky handcrafts and souvenirs as well as informational boards/display on the park and black bears in the area.
