Please DO NOT stray from the trail onto the private property of adjacent landowners. This includes crossing live railroad tracks at the southern end of the trail.

Healthy and helpful relationships with these landowners are vital to our ability to maintain the trail. Trail users who trespass, or who do not observe common sense in areas where car traffic crosses the trail, jeopardize the ability of the rest of us to enjoy our community resource. If we want to have good neighbors along the trail, we need to be good neighbors when we are using the trail!
