Constructed in 1930 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, 125 limestone stairs lead to the top of a former toboggan run at Swallow Cliff North. In 2016, an additional 168 steps were added, completing a circuit for visitors. Although the runs were closed in 2004, the stairs remain a popular exercise destination for fitness buffs and casual walkers. There is also an 8-mile, unpaved trail system for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross country skiing. During the winter, the bluff still serves as an active sledding hill. Visitors provide their own sleds.
