A series of pedestrian trails wind through the day-use area and take visitors to various features.
- Pets, food and disposable containers are not allowed on the trail to the shut-ins.
The Black River Trail, the main trail through the day-use area, is an interpretive trail and explains some of the features, including the fen and boulder field. Both the fen and boulder field have pavilions with interpretation and information about why these areas are important.
The Shut-Ins Trail features a new boardwalk that provides access to the namesake of the park -- the shut-ins.
The Scour Trail is a new trail that provides access to the scour channel itself. The trail, which is accessed from Route N just east of the main park entrance, is also an interpretive trail that explains the significance of the geology revealed by the scour channel. The trail includes an overlook and interpretive pavilion.
