Bring a small first-aid kit on longer hikes, or when riding a bike, skating or horseback riding in a preserve. In preserves with extensive interconnecting trails, carry a compass and a trail map. Trail maps are available at the Visitor Information Signs located near the trail head or parking areas. Pass only on the left, and only when your line of vision is unrestricted. Please leave room on the trail for others to pass.
Single file is the best procedure for groups of people on busy days.
Be extra careful when approaching horses. They startle easily, so slow down and give them as much room as possible. When there is snow on the ground, make every effort to avoid walking or riding in ski tracks. Skiers are encouraged to use the outside of the trail, with all others using the inside. Be aware of wildlife both on and off the trail.
