Trail Etiquette
Don't forget these helpful tips when out exploring our city trails!
- Practice good trail etiquette by sharing the trail with everyone: walkers, strollers, bikes, runners, etc.
- Leave no trace by using trash bins. Pick up trash and litter along the trail; even if it's not yours, you're helping chip-in to keep our trails clean
- Report vegetation, fallen limbs or light outages on the trail via SeeClickFix
- Keep all pets on a leash and use doggie bags to clean up after your pet
- Be polite to fellow trail users. If you are coming up behind someone, kindly announce your presence.
- Respect wildlife by observing animals at a distance and not feeding them. For more information on the City's wildlife services, visit here.
The City is building on the success of the recently completed Arcade Cripple Creek Trail by planning for the expansion of this trail. These efforts are grounded in strengthening community connections while expanding safe, accessible recreation and mobility options for residents. Together, the projects are designed to link neighborhoods, parks, and destinations, making it easier to walk, bike, and enjoy an interconnected citywide and regional trail network.
The City of Citrus Heights is advancing the Gateway Activation Project (GAP), which will extend multimodal and trail facilities along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way to better connect existing trails and link to future regional routes like the Arcade Cripple Creek Trail, the Old Auburn Road Multi-Use Trail and Roseville’s Dry Creek Greenway.
Two major extensions of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail are in the planning and design phases — one adding approximately 0.5 miles from Sayonara Drive to Mariposa Avenue and another connecting the Stock Ranch Nature Preserve to Sylvan Road — expanding the city’s multi-use trail network further west along Arcade Creek.
