It has been noticed that many mountain bikers have been riding with safety orange or yellow-green clothes this fall during small game and archery seasons at Nockamixon, a definite increase over the last couple of autumns. The RideNox Council appreciates this effort by all riders and strongly urges all those planning to visit the Nockamixon Mountain Bike Trails this fall and early winter to acquire appropriate safety clothing.
Please remember that the mountain bike trails at Nockamixon are located in an area of the park open to hunting and that hunting does indeed actively take place there. Park management has asked the RideNox Council to remind all trail users utilizing our trail system to "be safe - be seen". Please wear appropriate clothes Monday through Saturday from now through early February 2014 in respect of safety-conscious hunters in close proximity to our trails.
Deer season utilizing shotguns will open the first Monday after Thanksgiving (12/2/2013) when this safety practice will become even more critical.
