Park trails are surfaced in various materials: fine gravel, compacted earth, boardwalks. Our back country paths can be uneven, rocky and have exposed roots. To keep your feet happy, wear appropriate footwear.
Sunny? Cloudy? Hot? Drizzly? Our weather can change quickly. Dress accordingly. We recommend bringing a water bottle.
Smell it, touch it, admire it, but please don’t pick it. Leave flowers and plants for others to enjoy.
Take it in, take it out or put litter in garbage receptacles.
Respect others on the trails. Birders, joggers, parents with strollers, dog walkers, cyclists (the latter permitted on back country trails only) be aware of others and share the path.
Accessibility: Many Grand Concourse Authority(GCA) trails in the Park are wheelchair accessible. Users are advised to a selected route in advance to determine which trail suites your needs.
Leave only footprints, take only photographs, enjoy the journey.
