Trail Rules - Visitor Guidelines
To help Audubon better preserve its biodiversity and natural character of our sanctuaries, please follow these visitor guidelines:
- Please leave bikes, pets, and horses at home.
- Please 'pack in and pack out' any garbage.
- Individuals or couples can jog in the sanctuary, but larger jogging groups are not permitted on the trails.
- Hikers can help Audubon reduce erosion by staying on the pathways & trails.
- Take only photos and leave only footprints. These are private sanctuaries for nature and Audubon invites people to visit. During your visit, please do not disturb wildlife, collect plants, or pick wildflowers.
- Please observe any signs indicating when hiking trails are closed—this is for your safety. Trail access may be limited from early fall through mid-winter due to land management activities. This occurs mainly on weekdays and during early morning hours. If you have any questions about our land management activities, please contact our center at 203-869-5272 or email.
