Hiking Safety Reminders

All the land crossed by the Long Trail is open to hunting during regular hunting seasons. 

  • Always wear blaze orange that is visible from both front and back
  • Be especially careful in valleys and near roads and trailheads.
  • Don’t wear clothing with patches of white that might be mistaken for a deer.
  • Be prepared for changeable weather. 
  • Wear or carry a layer that wicks away moisture (not cotton) and a protective layer for wind and rain. 
  • Bring gloves and a hat. 
  • Pack a headlamp or flashlight just in case you come down the trail after sunset.
