Trails

Trail Etiquette

• PLEASE SHARE THE TRAILS - The trails were established for a wide variety of user groups. All users, including those accompanied by pets on leashes, should stay to the right of centre and use only half the width of the pathway. Ride single file, except when passing.
• KEEP PATHWAYS CLEAR - Please move completely off the trail when stopping. There are benches provided for your convenience.
• BE CAREFUL AT INTERSECTIONS - Slow down and look both ways and behind yourself before crossing road and trail intersections. Pedestrians always have the right of way.
• BE SEEN AND HEARD - Ensure your visibility at night by wearing light-coloured clothing with reflective material. Outfit your bicycle with lights, reflectors and a bell.
• WARN OTHERS WHEN PASSING - When approaching other cyclists or pedestrians from behind, shout out a friendly “hello” or “passing on your left.” Alert, don't alarm. Sound your horn or bell early and pass safely. Do not pass on the right.
• BE ALERT - Watch for hazardous conditions or vandalism and report to the City of Camrose. Be sure the trail ahead is clear of obstructions such as overhanging or fallen branches. Be aware of sharp bends in the trail, bridge crossings, intersections and hills.
• KEEP YOUR TRAIL SYSTEM CLEAN - Garbage receptacles are provided throughout the park system. If you are walking pets, we ask that you kindly carry proper equipment to clean up. Bags are provided throughout the trail system.
• USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT - …where necessary. We recommend the use of helmets, bells or horns when bikes and inline skates are involved.
• BE AWARE OF MAINTENANCE VEHICLES - No motorized vehicles unless authorized by the City of Camrose shall be permitted on the trail system.
• WASHROOMS - Washrooms are located throughout our trail system. Your assistance to help keep these facilities clean is most appreciated.
