Trail Use & Precautions
- All trail users should be observant of changing trail conditions. Bicycle riders should wear safety helmets at all times.
- All trails are natural turf surface and are therefore continually changing and variable. Please use trails cautiously and in full control. Be prepared to stop for fallen tree limbs, rocks, etc.
- Please stay on trails. While trail surfaces are variable, turf conditions off of trails are uncertain at best. Location of trail users is also much more difficult when users leave trails.
- Always stay to the right of the trail to allow for oncoming traffic.
- Trail use is recommended with partners or groups. Always consider physical health when selecting trails and uses.
- Bicycling use- Off-road bicycling are recognized by Illinois statutes as hazardous recreational activities. All participation is at the participant's own risk.
- Trail surfaces are not suitable for normal narrow tire bicycles. All-terrain bicycles with reinforced frames and all-terrain tires are recommended. Bicycles are restricted to single file while using trails. Bicycles may not be operated in a manner or speed which endangers horses and pedestrians who always have the right-of-way.
- Cyclists must dismount at all bridges.
- For emergencies, dial 9-1-1
