Crossings and shared use
Yield to pedestrians, use the signed bicycle/shared-use route, slow at crossings and blind bends, and walk uncomfortable ramps. Authorized maintenance or emergency vehicles may appear. The written route defines the separated portion; nearby roads and unmarked walking or technical trails are excluded. Check current device rules before bringing an e-bike.

Choose daylight and follow current posted park, trail and parking hours. Seasonal facilities and temporary closures can differ. Ordinary access fees were not established in this pass. Obey posted entry and parking terms; rentals, events and other services are separate.
Reviewed October 21, 2026. The city records path damage in its wider system; a network listing does not clear every segment. No jumping ramps or improvised work-zone bypasses. Arrange legal public parking separately and walk the bicycle approach. This is source-based planning, not a field inspection or a guarantee of present-day conditions. Stop at closures; do not improvise a traffic-road bypass.
Map location
The marker is a labeled planning reference, not a surveyed parking space, bicycle entrance or navigable route line. Use the written start and current on-site signs for the final approach.
