Trail Regulations

City Ordinances prohibit the following on City lands and trails:

  • Motorized wheeled vehicles
  • Camping without permission
  • Fires
  • Littering (including failing to pick up after your pet)

In addition, please note the following guidelines to ensure that the trails remain in their natural state and open to the public:

  • Please do not disturb the plants and wildlife.
  • Please respect the private property that surrounds the trails.

The City trails are maintained by many volunteers.

Make sure you are properly equipped and prepared for country hiking. Some of our trails are long, rough, or steep and are not suited for novice hikers or cross-country skiers. Be sure to read the trail descriptions and view the topographic contours of the maps.
