The David L Boren Hiking Trail is 12 miles long and is comprised of the Skyline, Deer Crossing, Lookout Mountain, and South Park Trails. After crossing the spillway the Indian Nations Trail head can be found. Indian Nations Trail is 5 mile long and terminates in the Carsons Creek area.
Though both the David L Boren and Indian Nations trails are considered multi-use trails (mountain bikes allowed), they are very technical, originally being cut for foot traffic only. Mountain biking is NOT recommended on these trails.
For the casual rider, three bike trails have been cut at the Lake View Lodge in the Stephens Gap area. They consist of three concentric circles 1, 2, and 4 miles long.
