Rancho Cucamonga's trails are open to walkers, joggers, bicyclists and equestrians. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails. Please observe the following guidelines for proper trail etiquette.

• Share the trails – cyclists yield to all other users and pedestrians yield to equestrian riders.
• Slower traffic keep right, faster traffic pass on left.
• Do not block the trail when walking or riding in a group. Allow enough room for other trail users to pass your group.
• Utilize traffic signals to cross streets at crosswalks. Wait for the pedestrian crossing symbol to appear before entering the street.
• Animals may act unexpectedly. Ask the handler of a horse or dog for guidance before approaching their animal.
• If you wear a musical device/headset, make sure the volume doesn’t prevent you from hearing what is happening around you.
• Do not litter.

Joggers/Walkers

• Stay right, pass on left. Announce yourself when passing.
• Yield to equestrian riders.
• Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Keep a short leash on your dog when passing or being passed by others, including horses and cyclists.

Cyclists

• Reduce speed to pass safely. Yield to all other trail users.
• When approaching from behind, announce yourself and the number of cyclists in your group well in advance to avoid startling others.
• Pass horses as far to the left as possible to avoid unintentional contact.
• A red ribbon on a horse’s trail indicates the horse may kick if approached too closely from behind.
• Reduce speed and use extra caution in crowded areas.

Equestrians

• Make sure your horse has the temperament and training for riding on public trails. Busy, multi-use trails are not the proper place to school green horses.
• Only pass on the left. Move right to allow faster trail users to pass.
• Announce your intentions to pass others and reduce speed to pass safely.
• Move to the side of the trail if your horse has behavior problems.
• Step off the trail if your horse has to relieve itself. Remove any droppings from the trail.
