Trails

Attention Trail Users

Due to the recent freeze-thaw cycles, some sections of County trails may be slippery and icy. Shaded areas are particularly affected, as these sections receive less sunlight and tend to remain frozen longer.

Trail users are encouraged to use caution and take appropriate precautions, including:

  • Wearing footwear with good traction or ice cleats when conditions warrant
  • Slowing down and allowing extra time to navigate slippery sections
  • Staying alert for changing trail conditions, especially in shaded areas

Conditions may vary throughout the day as temperatures fluctuate. Please use trails at your own discretion and help keep yourself and others safe while enjoying our outdoor spaces.
