Trail etiquette
01. Comply with trail regulations
Check current trail conditions before heading out on the trail especially during the rainy season. Deep prints (hoof, tire, boot) that degrade the tread indicate that the trail is too wet to use. When approaching muddy spots, go through the center of the mud to keep the trail narrow. Leave gates as found or as marked.
02. Travel at a safe speed
Faster trail users such as runners, cyclists and horse riders should be aware of slower users and limited visibility around bends. Expect to see people around every corner, and be prepared to slow down or stop quickly.
03. Obey leash laws and don’t tune out
Play it safe and always keep your dog on leash. Other trail users may be frightened of dogs or be unsure how to pass safely. Keep a short leash on your dog when passing (or being passed by) other trail users.
04. Stay on the trail
To minimize erosion, land and wildlife habitat damage, do not go off-trail, create new trails, or cut switchbacks. Narrow trails mean less environmental impact and happier critters.
05. Don’t block the trail
If you need to stop, move to the side of the trail.
06. Respect
All user groups have responsibilities as trail users, and to each other. Courtesy and diplomacy promote positive trail behaviors.
07. Pack out what you pack in
Don’t litter or leave food scraps. Remove manure from parking area & trailheads.
