Make sure you have a first aid kit and other safety gear with you when riding in the forest.

Don’t take unnecessary chances-help for emergencies may be miles away.

Tell someone where you plan to ride and then stick to your plans.

Be prepared for sudden changes in weather.

Reckless riding and high downhill speeds are not appropriate.

Control your speed at all times and approach turns in anticipation of someone around the bend.

If necessary, dismount your vehicle or bicycle on the downhill side and wait for horses and hikers to pass.

Slow down and use caution when passing others.Horses spook when they see an unfamiliar object, especially one that moves quickly and quietly. Yield right-of-way to other trail users.Ride single file in the middle of the trail to avoid widening the trail.Always wear a protective helmet and other gear.Be considerate of hikers and equestrians. Teach new riders trail etiquette-lead by example.Meadows, lake shores, stream banks and vegetation are easily damaged. Avoid wet, muddy areas as they are more susceptible to erosion.Minimize erosion by staying on trails and not cutting switchbacks.Repairs cost tax dollars, and citations cost you dollars.

Cutting switchbacks, creating hill climbs and riding in undesignated areas cause erosion, loss of wildlife habitat and other natural resource damage. Stay on trails and roads designated for use.Respect public and private property by practicing minimum impact cycling.Comply with signs and barriers, and leave gates as you found them.Trail maps are linked to on trail pages.Marienville ATV/Motorized Dirt Bike Trail Brush Hollow Cross-Country Ski and Hiking Trailīuzzard Swamp Wildlife Viewing and Hiking Area
