Basic Trail Safety

Whether you are biking, walking or running on the trails, there are several safety tips all users should follow:

• Do not use trails after dark or before dawn.
• Wear brightly colored clothing to improve visibility. During hunting season wear safety orange to be easily seen. Some portions of the trails pass through State Game Lands.
• Take along a water bottle to avoid dehydration.
• Carry a cell phone, but remember that cell phone coverage is limited in some areas of the trails.
• If biking, always wear a helmet.
• Keep your bike well maintained.
• Keep to the right and pass on the left. Provide a verbal signal or use a bell to alert others when passing.
• Wearing headsets while using the trail is not recommended.
• Carry identification with you. Let others know where you are going before heading out on the trail.
• In the event of an emergency call 911.
• To report non-emergenciesor trail conditions requiring attention, please call (724)463-8636 in Indiana County, or (814) 472-2110 in Cambria County.
