Trails

A SOAR Committee

The Trails

Volunteer help is needed. Workdays are scheduled for twice a month into the fall. Volunteers will meet at Coffield Center, SOAR’s activity center near the high school, on the second Wednesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. and on the last Saturday of the month at 9 a.m.

The Wednesday workdays will be July 13, August 10, and September 14. The Saturday workdays will be July 30, August 27, and September 24.

Trail Etiquette

Many of the Sisters Community Trails are designed for multiple users. For that reason it is important for users to understand trail etiquette and who has the right-of-way.

. Multiple-use trails must be shared. Cyclists yield to all others, and hikers/pedestrians yield to equestrians.

. Stay on the trails, and always respect private property.

. Please don’t litter. Pack out what you pack in.

. Pets must be in your control at all times. Carry out pet waste.

. Protect our natural surroundings. Enjoy plants and animals without disturbing them.

. Know and respect the laws that apply to public roads. Use extra caution in these areas!

. If you are biking, wear a helmet. (It is required by law in Oregon for people 16 years old and younger.) Stay to the right, and alert others if you are going to pass.

. Always dismount from your bike when crossing the road.

. Animals encountered on the trail may act in unexpected ways. If you are unsure about approaching someone with a horse or dog, ask the handler for guidance.

. When hiking/jogging with a dog, obey posted leash regulations. Keep a short leash on your dog when passing (or being passed by) horses, cyclists or other pedestrians.
