Never walk alone and always let someone know where you are going.
Be very observant of your surroundings and of other people. Avoid areas where visibility is poor and don’t wear headsets.
Wear reflective material and carry a whistle or noisemaker.
Don’t leave valuable items in plain view inside of your car. Leave them at home or lock them in your trunk prior to arriving at your destination.
Trust your instincts. Don’t walk where you feel uncomfortable.
Park in well-lit, heavily traveled areas if possible.
When you approach your car, have your key ready and check the floor and back seats before you get in.
Remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way. All trail users should stay to the right on the trail. Pets should be kept on a leash, and owners 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. Take a cell phone along (completely charged).
Before leaving home, share the route you plan to run, walk or cycle with a family member or friend, and include the time you plan to return.
Trails are available for use from sunrise to sunset each day
