Poudre River Trail

Poudre River Trail Corridor

In order for everyone to enjoy their trail experience there are proper manners for all trail users to exhibit. Remember the trail is for non-motorized use including walking, running, cycling, and rollerblading. In order to avoid conflicts observe the following guidelines:

Stay with on the right with the flow of traffic
Stay single file. Groups should be in single file when other trail users are present and should never use more than one-half of the trail to allow for the flow of traffic.
Control your speed! Obey speed regulations when present. Slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking other trail users.
Who Yields the Trail? Before passing another trail user make your approach known well in advance. A friendly greeting "Hello, passing on your left," or ringing a bell is considerate and works well. All trail users bicyclists, skaters, walkers, or others yield to equestrians. Bicyclists and skaters yield to walkers. Bicyclists yield to skaters. Downhill users yield to uphill users. Faster users yield to slower users.
Respect the resources: Look at wildlife from a distance, leave wildflowers and plants for others to enjoy, and stay on the designated trail
Always look before changing positions on the trail.
Be courteous-all trail users should be respectful of other users regardless of the type of recreation activity, speed, or skill level.
Be respectful of private property-trails are open to the public, but most of the adjacent land is private property. In many cases, adjacent landowners were generous in donating the land which the trail is located on.
Practice the "Leave No Trace" principles-be sensitive to the area, stay on existing trails and pack out at least as much as you take in.
