In addition to snowmobilers, winter enthusiasts can cross-country ski, snowshoe, and fat-tire bike on the Adirondack Rail Trail. Here are some of the best practices for recreating responsibly on this multi-use trail! 

1. Keep speeds low around populated areas, road intersections, and staging areas. Follow all speed limit signs.
2. Comply with all signs and respect barriers.
3. Stay to the right of the trail at all times, and pass on the left only when the trail is clear.
4. Groups should stay in a single file line and use proper hand signals for turning and other warnings.
5. While crossing a road as a group, one rider should act as a road guard and signal when it is safe to cross.
6. Yield the right-of-way to skiers, snowshoers, and other non-mechanized forms of travel, as well as those passing or traveling uphill. Slower and more vulnerable trail users get the right of way.
7. Avoid trails with inadequate snow cover.
8. When stopping on the trail, pull your snow machine as far right and off the trail as possible.
