The Serpent Mound is easy to observe up close. There is a blacktopped sidewalk on the perimeter of the mound. The paved path makes walking the perimeter easy and the path is wheelchair accessible. If you are inclined to gain a higher perspective, there is a 32 foot tall stair stepped platform. It’s a free feature to use at the park and it provides a terrific perspective of the Serpent Mound. There are trails to view the other smaller mounds in the park along with the surrounding vistas!
