Huge sandstone boulders, once part of the cliff face, now dot the streams and create obstacles to the rushing water. Access to the park is limited. The few bridges that cross the river provide access to popular swimming holes such as Nemo, Slant rock, and Lilly Pool. Fishermen can be found along the river attempting to catch bass, bluegill, catfish, or the Muskellunge, better known as the Mucky or Jack fish. Canoeists and kayakers can use the access areas to put in or take off.
Spectacular bluffs provide challenges for expert and beginning rock climbers.
