Please make trail use safe and enjoyable for everyone: walkers, bicyclists and runners. Thank you!

  • Travel on the right.
  • Pass on the left, in single file only.
  • When coming behind a trail user, warn the individual by using a bell or calling out, "passing on your left."
  • If you stop, move off the trail.
  • Obey all traffic signs, and stop at all road crossings to look for cars.
  • Dogs must be on a leash and under the owner's control at all times.
  • If you're walking a dog, bring a plastic bag and pick up your pet's feces. Properly dispose of droppings in waste containers.
  • Trail maps are available at City Hall, The Rec Center, Westwood Hills Nature Center or at the St. Louis Park Public Library.
