Towpath Courtesy and Safety Details

The Towpath Trail is a shared trail open to walkers, runners, bicyclists, and, in some sections, horse riders. To ensure an enjoyable and safe trail experience, please observe the following: - Travel at a safe speed and keep to the right except to pass. Give a clear warning before passing on the left. Travel single file and slow down when passing and being passed. Move off the trail when stopped. - Follow safe practices for yielding to others. Bicyclists should yield to all users, and everyone should yield to horses. Horses can be startled by sudden movements, so make sure the rider knows in advance that you are passing. Be aware that children on bicycles can swerve suddenly. - Pets must be kept on a leash that is 6 feet or less and stay to the right. - Bicycle helmets are highly recommended. Headlights are required if you are bicycling after dark. - Avoid walking in cross-country ski tracks.
