Biking
Pedal along trails, except in wilderness areas or other trails as posted. Enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of the great outdoors. Or maybe you want to join one of the organized races that utilize the attractive yet competitive terrain through the forest.
Practice Good Stewardship of our Trails and Roadways
You can help to take good care of our trails and roadways so that others may enjoy these areas for years to come by practicing some of the following actions:
- Don't litter! Take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle.
- Make sure that you operate the correct type of cycle or bike permitted in that area. Check with your destination ahead of time to make ensure that the cycle you plan to use is allowed.
- Don't operate a bike or cycle in areas where they are not permitted. These areas have been declared "off limits" to bikes and cycles to protect wildlife and vegetation or for your safety.
Safety While Biking
- Wear protective gear, such as helmets, pads, gloves and reflective clothing.
- Be courteous and remember that you are sharing the trail or roadway with other cyclists and recreationists.
- Do not operate your bike or cycle on unauthorized trails or roadways.
- Bring along extra safety items, such as water, flashlights, maps and a cellphone or radio.
Mountain Biking
- Just remember, many of these trails are used by hikers and horseback riders so please make sure to think of your safety and the safety of others as you travel.
- Wear protective gear when riding your mountain bike: helmet, gloves and sturdy shoes. Also plan on taking food, water, sunscreen and a basic tool kit on all of your outings.
- Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors on your national forests. View the wildlife and the scenery. Keep in mind that the forests and meadows are fragile lands, so please practice low impact, tread lightly techniques.
