Picnicking

Bicycling
Biking trails are available, but caution is advised due to the rugged terrain and potential for loose rocks. Helmets are recommended.

Mountain biking can be challenging here because of steep inclines and declines on some paths.

The park's five miles of multi-use trails offer varying difficulty levels suitable for experienced cyclists.

Remember that all bikers must yield to hikers and horseback riders as a safety measure in shared spaces.

There aren't any bike rentals onsite, so visitors need to bring their own equipment or rent from nearby facilities.

Be aware that weather conditions may affect trail accessibility; checking local forecasts before your visit is advisable.

Please note: cycling at night isn't permitted within the area's boundaries - plan visits accordingly.
