🐴🚲 Share the Trail 🚶‍♀️

Our trails are for people, bikes, and horses, and a little courtesy helps everyone enjoy the experience. 💚

🚶‍♀️ Walking? Stay aware of your surroundings and give others room to pass.

🚲 On a bike? Yield to pedestrians and horses. Slow down, give plenty of space when passing, and announce yourself early so others know you’re approaching. A friendly “passing on your left” as you slowly pass can make all the difference.

🐴 On horseback? Stay to the far right side of the trail and yield to pedestrians.

👠 Remember: Heels over wheels. When it comes to the trail, pedestrians and horses have the right of way over bikes.

📢 A quick note about our signage: You may notice a trail sign that doesn’t accurately reflect the shared use of the trail. We’re aware of the issue and are working to get the signage corrected. In the meantime, please follow the shared-trail guidelines above.

Slow down. Speak up. Give each other space. A little patience and awareness go a long way toward keeping our trails safe and enjoyable for everyone. 🌿💚
