Indian Lake features 2 miles of trails open to hiking, cross-county skiing and snowshoeing. A quarter-mile, paved, accessible trail with lake overlooks runs along Indian Lake in the day-use area. The Dufour Creek Loop includes bridges that cross the Dufour Creek at two locations, and the trail can be very wet seasonally, mainly in the spring and fall.

The park also manages the nearby Indian Lake Pathway, located 6 miles northwest of the park on M-149, which offers 8.5 additional miles of hiking and groomed cross-country ski trails.
