Trail etiquette is important for the enjoyment of the trails by all users. A well-used trail is a safe trail, but the City also adds police protection in the form of mountain bike patrol. Clubs, groups, individuals, families and friends of residents and visitors from all over the metro area can all be found on this trail every day of the week. Recreational cycling, walking, running, strolling and in-line skating are some of the many uses of this very popular trail. Connector trails lead off of this main trail to travel along Sunnybrook Road, Pear Orchard Road, Lake Harbour Drive, Old Canton Road and Rice Road. The main trail travels east-west across the city near the Natchez Trace Parkway.
