The park has several trails that make up the North Unit of the park, totaling 8 miles of trail on both sides of Harmon Road. The White Loop is a 2.1-mile walk past several small lakes near Harmon Road. Follow this to the Blue Loop, which combines with the White Loop to create a 3.6-mile hike. The North Unit also features the Graham Lakes Trail (Orange Loop) that loops for 3.6 miles around six inland lakes. Hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing are allowed on the trails, weather permitting.

Nearly 15 miles of trails are available in two parcels. To the north, the green, white, blue and orange trails are shared with hikers. Parking and trails can be accessed from Lake George, Predmore, Miller and Harmon roads.

To the south, the red, yellow, orange, blue, green and white trails are also shared with hikers and can be accessed from Greenshield and Kern roads. Mountain bikes are discouraged in the North Unit when trails are snow covered to make way for cross-country skiing. Fat-tire biking is encouraged in the South Unit during the winter months because snowmobiling tracks make a great base.
