Dale Hollow Lake State Resort also offers 15-miles of multi-purpose trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking (unless otherwise posted). The trails generally follow old logging roads along narrow ridge tops through the park. Most of the trails end at the tips of these ridges which form peninsulas into Dale Hollow Lake, requiring a return trip on the same trail. The hollows between the ridges are very steep and should be avoided. Descending these slopes can cause severe erosion and threaten your safety.
