Foot traffic is permitted on all designated trails. Bicycling and horseback riding are allowed on designated trails on some areas.
Pets are allowed on many Conservation Areas but they must be on a leash or confined at all times. Pets are not permitted at Nature Centers, Rockwoods Reservation, or on the trail at Painted Rock Conservation Area.
