Accessibility

Bicycles are permitted on paved trails and roadways within the park. Paved multi-use trails can be anywhere from 3-feet wide to 6-feet wide and can have varying grades depending on the terrain. These trails may have breaks in the asphalt or have edges that roll away into the vegetation. Paved trails through wooded areas could be obstructed by fallen trees or other organic matter. Park roadways are standard two lane roads with a double yellow stripe down the middle.
