The park features a 300-foot (91 m) rock outcropping with Native American petroglyphs—the Roche-a-Cri Petroglyphs—and a wooden stairway to the top, as well as more than 5 miles (8.0 km) of hiking trails.[1] The petroglyphs are the only publicly accessible rock art site in the state of Wisconsin.[2] In addition to the petroglyphs, other rock art such as a pictograph of a thunderbird and a horned human figure can be found at the park.[3]
