Trail Etiquette

Trail Etiquette

• Plan ahead – be aware of local trail conditions
• Wheels yield to heels
• Stay on the trail, and respect private property including crops, livestock and

  equipment. Close all gates, and keep your pets on a leash
• Take only photos, leave only footprints
• Camp and light fires only in designated areas
• Avoid taking shortcuts or creating braided trails around wet areas.
• Bury human waste at least 100 metres from water bodies.
• Grain and alfalfa pellets are recommended for horses as hay can introduce

  noxious weeds. Scatter manure. Avoid soft or marshy edges when watering

  horses.
• Do not leave horses unattended.
• Cyclists and horses avoid soft trail when wet.
• Fall is hunting season in much of
Manitoba. Consult Manitoba Conservation

  regarding hunting areas and wear blaze orange if on the trail.
• Do not drink the water unless purified by filters or tablets
• Enjoy the trail!
