PLEASE READ: Do not attempt to ride track features or trails while they are wet or muddy. Trail status updates are posted on the Hayes Arb Mountain Bike Trails Facebook page.

​

All motorized vehicles are strictly prohibited beyond the gravel parking lot.

​

Trail Rules & Etiquette

• Ride at your own risk.

• Bicycle helmets required. A properly fitting CPSC-rated helmet is highly recommended for everyone. A snug fitting, full-face helmet is encouraged when jumping.  

• Respect Others:

  • Stay in control at all times. Be aware of your surroundings and other park visitors. Adjust your speed when the park is busy.

  • Be courteous and share the track with other riders.

  • Take turns and keep a safe distance between you and the rider in front of you. Clear landing areas quickly.

  • Riders yield to pedestrians and uphill traffic.

  • Ride jump lines in one direction, one line at a time.

  • If you stop for a break or due to mechanical issues, move off to the side of the trail.

• Respect the Property & the Trails:

  • PLEASE do not use the dirt trails or features when they are wet or muddy. If mud is sticking to your tires/shoes, or you are creating ruts/footprints, it’s too wet to use. Failure to follow this rule causes unnecessary damage to the bike park and is costly to fix – don’t be that person.

  • Obey bike park trail and feature closures. Closure information can be found on the Hayes Arb Mountain Bike Trails Facebook page.

  • Stay on designated bike trails.

  • Do not modify trails or features.

​

General Park Rules

• No motorized vehicles are permitted beyond the parking lot.

• No unauthorized carrying of firearms or concealed weapons.

• No alcoholic beverages permitted.

• No smoking, vaping, or illicit drug use.

• Please help keep the trails clean. Place all litter in trash/recycling receptacles.

• Please respect the native vegetation and wildlife.

• No camping, fires, fireworks, or graffiti.

• Improper conduct may result in a citation, suspension, or expulsion from the bike park.

Bike Trails Safety Guide

​

HAVE FUN. RIDE HARD. PLAY SAFE.

​

Riders:

• BICYCLE HELMETS ARE MANDATORY. A properly fitting CPSC rated helmet is recommended for everyone. A snug fitting, full-face helmet is strongly encouraged when jumping.

• Bicycles should be in good working order. Riding a bike that is in poor condition or improperly assembled is dangerous. Visit your local bike shop for a safety check and get your bike(s) tuned up by a professional mechanic regularly.

• Lower your saddle for improved bike handling on jumps and pump tracks.

• Look before you leap. Natural and man-made terrain can change due to weather, use and maintenance. Do not ride or jump blindly!

• Ride safely within your ability. Some features or lanes require advanced skills, including jumping. The skill level required for the various park features are identified on the map.

• Ride progressively. Start small and work your way up to more advanced features as your skills develop.

• Protective gear is highly recommended. In addition to a helmet, wearing gloves, shin, knee, elbow pads, body armor and, in some cases, a neck brace is a good idea - especially when jumping. 

• Slippery when wet. Tracks and features are slippery when wet. Use extreme caution and abide by the posted trail status.

​

Pedestrians:

• Hike/jog at your own risk.

• Be aware of your surroundings. Other bike users may be moving quickly.

• Do not block or obstruct the bike trails/features. Do not stand or sit in blind areas.

• Parents/Guardians, please watch your young children carefully and stay with them at all times. 

• Children require adult supervision.
