The mountain area contains evidence of early mining operations that preceded its transformation into a destination for recreational walking and mountaineering activities.

Numerous walking paths connect Red Pike to neighboring peaks, establishing it as an integral part of traditional Lake District hiking routes.

Multiple trails lead to the summit from Buttermere and Loweswater villages, with designated parking areas available at the starting points of main walking routes.

The mountain structure contains volcanic rocks that emerged millions of years ago, creating distinctive red-colored slopes visible from surrounding valleys.
