Rock art
Roche-A-Cri State Park has the only interpreted rock art site in the state. The observation area is west of the office on the main park road. The accessible ramp and observation deck allow all visitors to view the petroglyphs and pictographs. Rock art consists of a number of stylized birds, bird tracks and other bird symbols. One painting depicts a connection between a human and a thunderbird. The mound also has numerous more recent carvings, from the mid-1800s to the 1950s.
Winter activities
Winter hiking, snowshoeing and ungroomed cross-country skiing are popular in the park. During winter, the main entrance is closed and visitors should park in the lot on the north side of Czech Avenue, west of State Highway 13.
