• Share the trail- give non-motorized trail users the right of way.

• Stay on the trail- riding off the trail damages wildlife habitat and contributes to erosion.

• Keep the noise down. Remember- less sound means more ground.

• Do not litter. If you packed it in, pack it out. Stay on designated trails.

• Keep out of closed areas and off private property.
