General Trail Etiquette

1. Read trailhead guidelines. There may be specific rules for the trail you are on. 2. Respect trail closures and obey posted signs. 3. Protect our environment. Stay on the trail. Do not cut switchbacks or use shortcuts. 4. Practice low-impact trail use. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage when trail is soft. Consider other options. 5. Respect private property and the privacy of people living along the trail. 6. Leave flowers and plants for others to enjoy. Do not pull bark off, cut or otherwise damage live trees. 7. Do not approach, scare, harass, or feed wildlife or livestock. 8. Treat all trail users with respect and courtesy regardless of their sport, speed or skill level. 9. Stay to the right and pass on the left. When overtaking someone, let them know you are approaching and will be passing on their left. Always look before changing positions on the trail. 10. Share the trail – watch and listen for others. 11. Travel at a safe and controlled speed. Be especially careful when visibility is limited. 12. All users yield to horseback riders. Expect the rider to advise you how to proceed. 13. Dogs are a potential fright for both people and horses. Pets must be kept on leashes and under control. 14. Carry out all litter, including pet waste. 15. Report vandalism or maintenance needs to the trail manager.

Reading Trail Blazes

Simply Moving • Guide to Public Parks, Trails & Recreation Facilities | It is helpful if you are walking on a trail that has blazes to know that they signify something specific. Blazes are simply paint markings found in a specific color (denoting a specific trail) on the side of trees. They will be located on the side of the trees in the direction that you should be traveling. (Definitions found in “Guidelines for Marking Recreational Trails,” Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.)
