The park is partially open for hiking and biking, though full completion and vehicular access are planned for 2027. The area is pet friendly and offers parking. Fall hiking occurs from September through November, providing comfortable temperatures and views of changing foliage. The terrain is described as rolling hills with scenic vistas. While specific trail lengths and elevation gains for individual paths are not detailed in the provided sources, the park is designed to offer options for various ages and abilities, including accessible routes.
