Hiking on the many trails the park offers is another way to get acquainted with the flora and fauna of the region. Trails to two waterfalls, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, named for two legendary Indian chiefs of the area, are quite popular. Or perhaps you might prefer the hike to Potato Knob with its commanding view at 2,480 feet. At the bottom you won't want to miss the famous "Shupe's Chute" waterfall.
