The Towpath Trail is a shared recreational trail. This means it is open to walkers, joggers, and bicyclists, and in some sections, horse riders. To ensure an enjoyable trail experience for all users, please observe some basic trail courtesy. Travel at a safe speed and keep to the right except to pass others. Bicyclists yield to ALL users.
Horses can be startled by sudden movements, so use caution.
Make sure the rider knows in advance that you are passing. Give a clear warning before passing on the left. Travel single file when passing and being passed. Please avoid walking in cross country ski tracks. Move off the trail when stopped.
