SMART TRAIL USE includes adherence to some basic
safety practices. Trails are shared recreation amenities and are
accessed by a variety of users at the same time. Please be
courteous to all users, and remember that pedestrians have the
right-of-way. All trail users should stay to the right on the trail.
■ Never use the trails at dark and always follow posted
regulations.
■ Leave no trace. Place trash in receptacles.
■ Bicyclists should pull off the trail when stopping to avoid a
possible accident.
■ Bicyclists approaching pedestrians should make an
advanced noise using voice, bell, or horn to avoid startling
walkers.
■ Bicyclists should always wear a helmet and ride at speeds
that do not exceed 12 miles per hour.
■ Horses should be kept on the grass shoulder, when possible.
■ With the exception of motorized wheelchairs, motorized
vehicles are not allowed on the trail.
■ Pets should be kept on a short leash and people must
clean up after their pets.
■ Be sure to carry identification (which includes name, phone
number, and pertinent medical information), and record
your bicycle serial number.
■ Carry coins for phone calls or have a cell phone.
■ Prior to using new trail take the time to familiarize yourself
with the trail and plan your route.
■ Tell friends or family the route you'll be taking, and always
travel with a partner when possible.
■ Avoid unfamiliar areas when on the trails alone.
■ Stay alert, be observant about your surroundings and
avoid areas where visibility is poor.
■ Wear reflective material and carry a whistle or noisemaker.
■ Never wear headsets.
■ Use discretion when acknowledging strangers, and follow
your intuition about unfamiliar people and areas.
■ When on roadways, remember to ride with traffic, but
walk and run against traffic.
■ Always carry tools to repair minor issues and especially
have supplies to change a flat tire.
■ Trails are available for use from sunrise to sunset each day.
