Winter Recreation Trail Signs

Weather conditions may cause trail markers to become obstructed and non-visible. Be prepared to backtrack if you can no longer see a trail.

Increased trail grooming and heavier use of trails have heightened the need for trail signage. For public safety, it is policy that no trail grooming may occur until a trail is adequately signed.

Learn to recognize these signs before you head out on the trails.
