You are responsible for your own safety.

Trail use has inherent risks. You may encounter a variety of unexpected and/or dangerous conditions. It is your responsibility to be informed and take precautions. Trail markers are placed to better orient the hiker and should be augmented with maps and guidebooks that are available for purchase from the STA or the DBNF.  Ticks are very abundant; precautions should be taken primarily from mid-March through mid-October. Poison ivy flourishes in many areas in the DBNF, please use caution. Properly treat all trailside water before consuming. Springs and or creeks may not be flowing during July, Aug., & Sept. Plan to bring water with you or cache water north of the I-75 trail crossing at exit 49 during all seasons.
