Hiking with Animals

  • Keep them physically restrained on a leash or lead at all times.
  • Do not let your animal disturb wildlife or others.
  • Keep them on the trails.

Outdoor Recreation Tips

Drink plenty of water, non-carbonated and non-alcoholic drinks, even if you do not feel thirsty.

Be aware of the Weather & Flood conditions. It can change quickly.

If you head to the beach, stay within the designated swimming area.

Never swim alone.

If you plan on boating make sure you wear a personal flotation device. On a larger boat, locate the life jackets, life rings and lifeboats so if the captain gives the order to use them, you can reach them quickly.

...And remember to always go out with a friend
