SAFETY AND COURTESY TIPS
In almost any outdoor activity there is some risk. Because of the length and sometimes
remote character of the Trail, users are
advised to be alert and careful when using the Trail. Water and restrooms are only
available at the public park trail head areas
and at public restaurants in the village centers. In case of emergency, Trail users are
encouraged to carry a map of the trail
with them, a cell phone, and to note their location from the various roadways that they
cross and the closest mile post marker. |
ALL USERS
Obey all Trail signs and posted rules and regulations.
The Trail is open from dawn to dusk.

Respect the rights of adjacent property owners. Much of the surrounding land is private
property. Visitors should remember to stay on the Trail, except where clearly invited, and
to park at clearly marked parking areas only.
Please keep the Trail clean and neat for everyone. Visitors should always abide by the
"litter carry in-carry out" policy and to use litter receptacles along the way.
