Trail Etiquette

 CUMBERLAND TRAIL NETWORK ETIQUETTE 

 The Cumberland Trail Network is a multi-use trail network shared by mountain bikers, hikers and trail  runners of diverse ages and abilities. This network includes:  The Cumberland Community Forest Park owned and managed by the Village of Cumberland.   Village Watershed Lands owned and managed by the Village of Cumberland.   Private Working Forest Lands with trails managed by United Riders of Cumberland. EXPECT mountain bikes, hikers, runners, dogs, children, and elders on these trails.  Trails closest to the Village are part of the Cumberland Community Forest Park and the Community  Interface Zone. The Park was gifted to the Village by the community for ecological protection and low  impact recreation. These multi-use trails receive the highest volume and diversity of trail users.  Visitors are encouraged to pay attention to signage and watch for Nature Trails (best enjoyed on foot)  and Gravity Trails (yield to mountain bike traffic) inside the Community Interface Zone.  For everyone to be able to enjoy the Cumberland Trails safely, users are asked to learn and practice the  following:

  • Communicate. Let others know you are coming with a greeting or bell ring.   Stay Alert and anticipate other users. Trail features and sightlines impact response time.   
  • Be Aware of your surroundings and have all your senses available.
