Winter  - Trail Activities

• The City will maintain the LRT trail for Winter use from November 15th to March 31st. Approximately half of the trail will be plowed for those who jog, walk or ride a bike.  The other half will be left with snow for cross-country skiers

Summer - Happy Trails!

The summer trails are shared by bicyclists, runners, walkers, bird watchers, athletes of all types and outdoor lovers of all ages.  Using the trail system in our area should be enjoyable for everyone.  Everyone who is on the trail should be courteous and safe. Here are some suggested guidelines from the Excelsior Fire District.

Trail Safety

• Travel in pairs if possible.

• Tell friends or family the route you'll be taking and when to expect you home.

• Be aware of your surroundings at all times and know where you are on the trail if you should have an emergency or come upon one.

• At dawn, dusk, at night and when visibility is limited, always wear retro-reflective attire.

• If you have a medical condition, wear a medical necklace or bracelet.

• It is important to carry some form of identification when using the trails. There are wrist tags and shoe tags available at most athletic stores. You can attach an I.D. tube to your athletic shoes. You can type your name, address and any pertinent or medical information on a piece of paper that fits in a small tube. I.D. tubes are very inexpensive and the information you store on them can be changed at any time. I. D. tubes are also available at most pet stores and come in different sizes and colors. You can also find them by typing "I.D. Tube Pet" into your internet search engine.

• Organizers of large groups should make sure everyone understands trail courtesy before you set out on your journey.

Trail Etiquette

• If you are passing anyone try to pass them on the left if it is possible. Always call out before you pass that you are "passing on their left" - especially when biking or jogging.

• Be respectful of others. No one should be forced off the trail.

• If you are going to stop, look behind you first to avoid a collision. Always move to the side of the trail when you stop.

• Don't litter and please be sure to clean up after your pet.

• Please keep pets on a leash and under control. Pet owners using the trail and living near the trail should not allow their pets to disturb, harass or interfere with trail users, horses or wildlife.

Biking

• Wear a properly fitted helmet at all times when you are biking.

• Make certain your bike is the right size, safely maintained and has reflectors.

• Stop at all crossings. Look left-right-left before entering any road or pathway.

• Do not ride the trail at night.

For more information please contact your local park or trail division.
