The Dahlgren Trail is seeing record use these days as we keep close to home, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. A walk, run, or bike ride on the trail is good for our physical and mental health, but with more trail users than ever, it's a good time to remember proper trail etiquette and rules. 
  • Obey all “posted” and “no trespassing” signs. The Dahlgren Trail adjoins private property belonging to others.  Do not stray off the trail.

  • Leave no litter and clear litter left by others.
  • No firearms may be brought onto the railroad corridor.
  • Collecting railroad memorabilia is strictly forbidden and will be prosecuted.  All ties, spikes, mileposts, etc. are the property of the trail and may not be removed.
  • All dogs must be on a leash. For their safety and the safety of other trail users and animals, do not allow your dog to run loose.
  • Horseback riding is strictly prohibited without special permission. Watch for, and yield to any horses on the trail. Stop for approaching horses and wait for them to pass.​
  • No camping or overnight stay is allowed without a special permit.
  • Access the trail corridor appropriately.  No access may be had via private subdivision roads unless specific permission has been given.
  • Respect adjoining owners’ rights to have horses and livestock adjoining the Corridor.  Do not feed horses “treats” or pet them.
  • No motorized vehicles are allowed on the corridor without special permission.
  • Use the Corridor in a reasonable manner at all times to avoid disturbing and damaging the corridor and adjacent property. Prevent damage to all roads and driveways that cross the corridor, and protect and preserve the area’s wildlife, plants and natural features.​
