| IMPORTANT!! Ride cautiously around equestrians, particularly on trails near trailheads and campgrounds. If you encounter a horse back rider on the trail get off of the trail with your bike downhill from the trail if possible and talk loudly and clearly to the rider of the horse to keep the horse's attention until they have passed. See the Trail Etiquette for page for more information on sharing trails |

| Distances are calculated using computer software - they are close but not exact. These rides require at the least: good equipment, good physical fitness, navigational skills and a DNR map. If you are trying determine what ride will be best for your level of fitness and ability, consider distance and elevation gain as your primary factors in determining what you may be able to accomplish. Capitol Forest is very large and you are responsible for your own safety. Use this guide at your own risk |
