Trail Etiquette
Are you a courteous trail user? The universal rule of trail courtesy is for all trail users to
yield the right-of-way to horses, and for bicycle riders to yield to all other types of users
When approaching a person on horseback, speak in a soft voice to alert the horse and rider of
your presence. Users of Scottsdale trails are reminded that all users are on the trail for the
same reason—to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of the Sonoran desert.
Did you know that you could be fined up to $250 for driving a motorized vehicle on a non-paved
trail in the City of Scottsdale? Scottsdale Ordinance 17-62 prohibits the use of motorized
vehicles, including ATVs and motorcycles, on Scottsdale's trails and Preserve lands.
By obeying this law you will help eliminate conflicts with other trail users such as equestrians,
and help reduce negative impacts on adjacent property owners. Know the rules, obey all signs,
and please act responsibly!
Attraction#3: Rivers & Lakes
Blessed with 128 lakes and 5 major rivers, Arizona beckons outdoor enthusiasts to hike, raft, ski
and fish year-round.
Lazy Rivers and Wild Rapids
The state’s most famous river—the mighty Colorado—is one of the longest rivers in the U.S., and
is responsible not only for carving the 277-mile chasm through the Grand Canyon, but also for
sustaining more than 40 million people in seven states.
Along Arizona’s seven other major rivers, including the Salt, Gila and Verde rivers, rafting,
tubing and kayaking provide a cool and scenic respite from the heat. Fishing is another popular
pastime, and you’ll find no shortage of opportunities to reel in a variety of trout, catfish,
tilapia, crappie and largemouth bass.
