Generally the trails are level to gently rolling, although a few are quite strenuous. Elevation changes along trails can be 1000 feet or more. The adjacent Cranberry Wilderness provides many miles of hiking trails through some especially remote areas. You won't see a soul out there. In winter, many of the trails are suitable for cross-country skiing.
Some trails are approprate for bicycling.
Rainbow trout are not native but are stocked in some streams near the Glades. The most popular hunting season is deer season, which extends from late November to about January. Turkey hunting occurs mainly in the spring. Black bear hunting is prohibited entirely, as the area is included within a black bear sanctuary. Although visitor use of the Cranberry area is increasing, it's still easy to get away from the crowds.
