ENSURE A FUN & SAFE TRAIL ADVENTURE
Exploring the oasis in the city that is the High Line Canal trail should be an incredible experience for both you and the 250+ wildlife species that call it home. To preserve the harmony of this natural sanctuary and ensure all users have a safe and enjoyable time along the Canal, we’ve come up with these simple steps to ensure we all maintain proper trail etiquette.
Trail Traffic Tango: Yield to Others!
Respect fellow trail users and give way when needed. Remember, equestrians have the right of way and cyclists yield to pedestrians.
Chillax Your Speed: 15 MPH or Less!
Keep the pace cool and safe! Stick to 15 mph (unless posted otherwise) and slow down in busy areas, blind curves and when sharing the trail.
Passing Party Time: Alert and On Your Left!
Say hi when you pass by! Use an audible “on your left” or a friendly bike bell. For equestrians, be considerate and use your voice – no startling surprises!
Leash the Beast: Dogs Welcome!
Unleash the fun but keep it in check! Pets are welcome on a short leash (6ft or shorter). Let’s avoid hazards and wagging tails gone wild!
No Trash Bash: Pack It Out!
Let’s leave no trace of your adventures! Carry out all trash, including pet waste. Keep it clean, keep it wild!
Hands Off, Nature’s Boss: Leave No Trace!
Let nature shine, undisturbed! Treasure the Canal’s wonders by leaving rocks, artifacts and all things as you find them. Every piece has its place!
Wildlife Rockstars: Respect and Protect!
Keep the wild in wildlife! Minimize your impact, stay on trails and give wildlife space. Let’s create a thriving sanctuary for our animal friends!
The High Line Canal Conservancy is a proud member of the Leave NO Trace Coalition, doing our part to minimize our impact on nature and helping Canal users do the same! Learn more about Leave NO Trace.
