Trail access is a pressing topic that involves ensuring public access to recreational trails for hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. Recent trends show a growing concern over restrictions on trail access, whether due to private landowners, government regulations, or environmental conservation efforts.

One notable petition with thousands of signatures calls for the protection of public lands and trails from privatization, emphasizing the importance of preserving these natural resources for future generations. Another petition highlights the need for better trail maintenance and signage to enhance safety and accessibility for all trail users.

This has been a trail My wife and I take our little girls to explore and enjoy for many years when going for a family walk we discovered this white fence with no trespassing posted! This was extremely upsetting for My family to see, so we want to take action against it.
This path was the safest way of getting to Umstead park without driving or having to bike a long way on the street. This fence takes away a lot of the walkability of this community. I hope at least the small path through the woods joining the 2 neighborhoods can be opened up
We've been using this access to easily reach umstead for family walks, as well as the many trails for mini hikes and educational purposes for our young kiddos for almost a decade. This was the highlight of the neighborhood, and especially as summer approaches, losing access to not only OUR community trails but Umstead...
P.s. I've never seen a motorized vehicle within these trails in 10 years. It's ALL families with young children, folks walking their dogs and the occasional bike. We want it back.
I live right around the corner from the connector trail. I used it several times per week. The first time I approached the trail and saw the closure, I was actually stunned. I started a different petition to ask to reopen as soon as I could. That petition can be found here: https://www.change.org/p/reopen-community-access-to-poyner-road-trail-and-umstead-park-in-raleigh-nc I notified the signers of the petition I started so that those who don't know will know now. Please consider at least opening up the connector trail. Thank you.
I have used this trial/access point for running and walking my dog for years - since I moved into the Delta Ridge neighborhood. Very disheartening to now have this area vehemently blocked-off from any access, based on the irresponsible actions of a small # of people/isolated incident(s); none of which are the vast minority of long-time, responsible users of this area for actual outdoor recreation Nd personal enjoyment.
As a member of the Weber State community for 18 years now I have reguraly used the social trail for midday runs, walks, and cross country skiing. I have never had an issue with golfers and have never heard of anyone else having an issue with golfers. Instead I have had wonderful encounters with fellow nature lovers enjoying easy access to the outdoors. Don't let the lawyers scare us out of enjoying our own backyards!
Ogden City is forcing kids on bikes to re-route onto streets. This was the only way for non-technical mountain bikers (mostly kids, families and youth). Now they have to re-route down to the streets to get around Mount Ogden park as the only authorized bike trail is beyond their ability. They state they made this decision for the “safety” of the general public and want us to be “good neighbors” in regards to this decision. Wow, great job Ogden leadership!
My son and grandson have run this trail running cross country for Mt. Ogden Jr. High and Ogden High. I've never heard or seen any golf balls interfere with anything. We love to walk it when we have a picnic with our grandkids. It's just a nice peaceful and beautiful walk.
The trail access through the golf course was a great way to access other trails and get outside. Every time I use the trail I see countless people out enjoying and using the trail through the golf course. Blocking this access will be a negative impact to the community.
