Trail etiquette
Please hike on designated trails only. Hiking is not permitted on equestrian, mountain bike and cross-country ski trails. Follow posted signs throughout the system and take care when crossing groomed ski or mountain bike trails.
Dogs are great hiking companions. Leashes are required in all park and greenway spaces except the Dakota Woods Dog Park.
