| 2. Courtesy: The Wabash Trace is a multi-use recreational trail. Bike riders, please control your speed, ride on the right, pass on the left. Please give warning of your approach with a friendly greeting or use a bell. Cyclists should yield the right of way to pedestrians. Everyone must yield to horses on bridges until the animal is off the bridge. | |
| 3. Leave no marks. Be aware that the trail's crushed limestone surface is especially vulnerable to damage during the freeze/thaw cycle in the winter and spring. Please avoid using the trail if you can leave impressions in the surface. Wildflowers, trees and shrubs, and animal habitat can only flourish if left alone. Do not litter or disturb neighboring livestock. |
