Clinton Lake is surrounded by more than 60 miles of hiking trails that pass through scenic woodlands, prairies, and over ridges along the lakeshore. The main trunk of the trail system is on the north shore of the lake and is blazed in blue and white. This route begins on the white-blazed trail and then makes a small loop through the woods on a red-blazed trail before following the blue-blazed trail back to the start. The red section of this route is meant to challenge mountain bikers as it is a very narrow trail. There is little room for your bike tire on the trail and the thick woods leave little room for anything else. The white trail includes several ups and downs. There are great views of the lake and beautiful scenery through the woods.

This is a great hike to view a large variety of rock formations. You will see and hike on top of rugged rock pinnacles, find cliffs, arches and a shelter bluff. You will also find tons of fossils embedded into the rock.This trail isn't recommended for young children or those afraid of heights. You will go through some narrow and steep areas while on the pinnacles so use caution. After you hit the shelter bluff, you will track back toward the wooden bridge and find a shallow spot to cross the stream. This is where you will start climbing on top of the pinnacles. Just after the last pinnacle you will be heading into the forest. This is a good place to turn back and retrace your steps to the parking lot.
