1. Stay on the graded roads. These are maintained for access by motor vehicles. Authorized vehicular access is permitted for students and faculty with teaching or research projects, maintenance vehicles and harvesting equipment. Yield to vehicles you encounter in the Forest.
2. Do not use foot paths. Most foot trails on the Forest are not regularly maintained, nor were they designed to stand up to the impact from horseback riding. For your safety and the protection of the environment, do not use these footpaths.
3. Limit your riding to dry weather. The maintained roads are generally adequate for horse traffic except in wet weather when hoofs can damage non-graveled, muddy soils.
4. Enter the Forest only at gated roads. They are marked by green posts with white lettering. Do not enter the Forest from adjacent stables, powerlines, or other clearings.
5. Be aware of your surroundings. Be alert to possible pedestrian and vehicular traffic that may be around the next corner. |
