High Cliff trails offer different levels of challenge to hikers. All trails are looped and vary in length. Use caution when on steep bluffs or near cliffs. Stay well away from cliffs that are not protected by a barricade or barrier. Stay on marked trails and behind barricades and barriers where they are provided. Watch small children closely. Trail surfaces can become slippery when wet, leaf covered, or where loose gravel may be encountered.

Butterfly Pond Trail (0.4-mile east loop and 0.7 mile west loop). The trail starts at the parking lot off Lower Cliff Road and goes around the Butterfly Pond. This interpretive trail is paved for accessibility and features wetland, prairie and forest ecosystems.

Forest Management Trail (0.9-mile short loop and 1.4-mile long loop). The trail starts at the parking lot east of the pavilion. This trail is marked with yellow dots and compares managed with unmanaged woodlots.

Horse/Bike Trail (7.5-mile). The parking lot for this trail system is located near the dump station (vehicles with trailers can park in the gravel horse parking lot). The horse/bike trail system is marked with orange dots and features grassland and hardwood forest ecosystems. Horse and bicycle rentals are not available.

Indian Mound Trail (0.6 mile). The trail starts at the Indian Mound lot off park road and near campsite #14 in the family campground. This self-guided, limestone-surfaced interpretive trail showcases effigy mounds built by Native Americans 1,500 years ago.

Lime Kiln Trail (0.9-mile short loop and 1.7-mile long loop). The trail starts at the paved parking lot near the lime kiln ruins and at the stairs near campsite #38.

The lakeside segment of Lime Kiln Trail is generally level, while the escarpment segment involves steep climbs, descents and stairs.

Red Bird Trail (3.4-mile short loop and 3.8-mile long loop). The trail starts at the family campground, Indian Mounds trailhead and tower parking lot. This mostly level trail is marked with red dots and travels along the top of the Niagara Escarpment. It features panoramic views of Lake Winnebago, historical limestone quarries, the Chief Red Bird statue and the observation tower.

The Overlook Trail is maintained as a ski trail when there is a volunteer available to groom it.
