Special activities such as guided hikes, movie nights, and sporting events are offered during the summer.[6] TrailsHolly River has over {{convert|42|mi|km}} of hiking and biking trails.[7] Two trails, Ridge Road Trail and Rock Camp Trail, are designated as horse trails.[8] AccommodationsCabinsHolly River features ten furnished cabins constructed in the 1930s using local natural stone and timber.
