Trail Etiquette and Safety

Most trails in the Monmouth County Park System are open to walkers, runners, bicyclists, and equestrians. Safe multiple use requires common courtesy and cooperation. It is important to obey rules of protocol for yielding right-of-way when pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians meet on the trail: cyclists yield to all other trail users and pedestrians yield to horses.

Please stay on the trails - the trails are the safest and best routes through the parks - you may be damaging sensitive natural resources by straying from the trails. Slippery conditions may exist on the trails due to seasonal conditions. Responsible trail use by individuals means an enjoyable experience for everyone. Please preserve the solitude and obey the rules and regulations posted in each park. The Park System recommends that you wear appropriate safety gear for the activity in which you are engaged.
