Preparing for Your Outing
Follow the tips below to help ensure you have a great time and stay safe:
Remember:
• Be aware of your abilities, your surroundings
and weather conditions.
• Stay on designated, marked trails.
• Please do not disturb plants, trees,
flowers, streams and lakes or wildlife.
• Walk pets in approved areas only and
keep them on a 6’ leash at all times.
• Smoking is not permitted in county
parks, including picnic areas and parking
lots.
• Pick up and carry out garbage and pet
waste and dispose in a trash receptacle.
Pooper-scooper bags and trash receptacles
are available in high use parking
areas and trailheads.
• Follow all posted park regulations.
• Be courteous and yield to others on the trail. Walk on the right side and
be mindful of other trail users around you (bicyclists, joggers, skaters,
dogs on leash, others). Everyone must yield to horses (let them pass).
• Parking fees are required at most County Parks. Check your Healthy Trails
Guidebook, call (408) 355-2200 or check parkhere.org for parking fee
information.
• Call 911 in case of emergency.
