Hiking and any outdoor activity can be dangerous and has many potential hazards. It is up to each individual to know their limits, abilities and level of expertise before attempting any outdoor activity. No one should undertake any hike described on this site without recognizing and personally assuming the associated risks. You alone are responsible for determining if you should attempt any of the hikes described. Recognize that descriptions of hike difficulty may not apply to you, and may change with local conditions.
The information contained on this website about any given hike is not to be considered a definitive guide; instead, it is available so that you may have a general idea of what to expect on the hikes listed on this site. When following a GPS track while hiking, remain cognizant of the fact that GPS tracks are inherently inaccurate; they may be 30-50 feet (or more) off the actual trail. Do not blindly follow the track; only use it as a rough guide to keep on the trail. If the trail becomes impassible or you are uncertain how to proceed, retrace your steps back to the starting point. Do not bushwhack through the woods – this will dramatically increase your risk of injury.
Although all tracks and trail descriptions contained in on this site are as accurate as possible, they are not meant to be a substitute for official maps provided by the parks. Be aware that local conditions in a given park or along a specific trail may change – always visit the park Web site before taking a hike and contact park staff before or during your visit. Review our Safety Tips before you go, and prepare yourself for the possible hazards. For sites that allow hunting in season, it is your responsibility to research hunting schedules for each park and avoid hunting times – see our page Know Hunting Locations and Seasons.
