The Blue Ash Bay Trail-, popular among snowshoers, is a two and half mile roundtrip that starts near the Beaver Pond Overlook on the north side of Sullivan Bay.
The Kab-Ash Trail- For experienced cross-country skiers is popular. The trail offers nearly 30 ungroomed miles to explore. Many sections of the trail are remote and challenging, so skiers are advised to be well-prepared with a map of the trail.

Months of June through August, the National Park Service provides many guided boat tours.
