FBTA Trail Rules

Please remember that most of the trails go through private property and use of the trails is at the pleasure of the landowners. Therefore, it is very important that all riders using the trails be considerate of the property they are passing over and be courteous to all landowners they meet.

1. Only member riders are allowed on the trails. Trail membership tags must be displayed.

2. Riders must obey all signs.

3. Riders may not linger on trails.

4. The trails are open for riding between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm or dusk.

5. No dogs are allowed on the trails.

6. Noise should be kept to a minimum, especially around houses.

7. Riders under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

8. Riders should report any unusual or adverse trail conditions or other problems to FBTA.

9. Riders must stay on the trail.

10. Littering and smoking is forbidden.

11. All riders must wear hard hats and proper footwear.

12. Riders must respect all verbal requests of landowners.

13. Use of trails while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden.

14. No motorized or non-motorized vehicles are allowed on trails.

15. Members agree to ride at their own risk, and sign a statement to that effect.

16. Please notify the FBTA of use of the trails by individuals who are not members of FBTA.

17. Riders who violate these rules will be barred from using the trails, and may have their membership revoked.

These Rules of Conduct are not intended to be all inclusive. If situations arise that are not covered by these rules, please use common sense, combined with courtesy and care. Only then can we hope to be able to enjoy this trail system for years to come. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hunting Season Safety

Many public lands and private property owners permit deer hunting during the Hunting Season which goes from September 15 – January 15th. Bow hunting is allowed during these four months and Rifle Hunting Season is from November 17 - December 7th. Please use extreme caution during this period as the line of sight is much farther away than with a bow and arrow.

You are cautioned to wear an orange vest or hat cover.
