The O&W Rail Trail Coalition wants all trail users to have memorable and safe visits to our trail. To that end, all the member municipalities have agreed to the following rules concerning use of the trail:

• The trail will be open 365 days a year from dawn to dusk. For your safety, please do not use the trail before dawn or after dusk.
• Unauthorized motor vehicles (i.e. cars, trucks, motorcycles, snow mobiles, ATV's and motor propelled bicycles) are strictly prohibited.
• Park only in designated trail head parking areas, also after dawn and before dusk. Parking will occasionally be patrolled by the Ulster County Sheriff's department and the NY State Police.
• Stay on the trail and respect adjacent land owner properties.
• For the safety of all trail users, please leash your dog.
• Clean up after your dog and other animals.. Do not leave dog feces bags on the trail, carry them out and dispose of them properly. Alternatively, feces may be swept entirely off the trail with a stick or branch.
• Be respectful of the environment. Carry out all trash.
• Stop and use caution at all road intersections.
• For safety of slower moving users, give warning before passing. By state law, bicycles should be outfitted with a warning device.
