GENERAL TRAIL TIPS
• Most DuPage County forest preserves are open daily from one hour after sunrise
until one hour after sunset.
• Leave room on the trail for others to pass. Single file is best for groups on busy days.
• Dogs are welcome but must be on leashes less than 10 feet long. Always clean up
after your pet.
• Always bring water. On longer trips, consider packing snacks, bug spray
and sunscreen.
• If there’s snow on the trails, please do not walk or ride in set ski tracks.
• Don’t litter. Pack out what you pack in.
• Be aware of wildlife. Remember, you are a visitor in their habitat.
• In an emergency, dial 911.
BIKERS
• Only ride on designated trails and travel in a controlled, consistent manner.
Be especially careful around curves and in parking lots.
• Always ride single file on the right side of the trail. When passing, alert visitors
ahead with a polite call of “passing on your left.”
• Be careful around horses, which may startle easily. Give them ample room.
Do not pass horses on bridges.
HORSEBACK RIDERS
• Keep your horse under control at all times. Racing is strictly prohibited.
• Do not ride in picnic areas, campgrounds, off-leash dog areas, model-craft areas or
other areas as posted.
• Refrain from riding on wet or muddy trails.
• Only use wheeled carts less than 4 feet wide.
• Whenever safely possible, please clean up after your horse.
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS
• Use the outside of the trail for classical skiing and the inside for freestyle skiing
and other trail activities.
DOG SLEDDERS
• Only use carts and sleds less than 4 feet wide.
• Remain on the trail and travel in a controlled, safe manner.
• Use wheeled training carts only on trails that are also designated for bicycles.
• When snow conditions allow, use sleds only on select trails at Blackwell and
Greene Valley forest preserves.
ACCESSIBILITY
The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is committed to making its forest
preserves and facilities accessible to all visitors. Individuals with accessibility needs
