Watershed Trails Get Safety Markers
The Watershed Trails will soon be updated with new trail markers (see sample below). These markers, posted every quarter mile, will contain valuable safety information, trail mileage and a unique number for each trail. The numbers will be used by emergency services to find you if injured while using the trail. Please use the markers to keep track of your location in case of an emergency.
