Equestrian Trail Marking

White carsonite markers about 4” wide by 3 feet high designate equine trails  and will be marked with E for Equine.  Just below the E there will be a number that marks that spot on a fire department map for rescues. These markers will usually be marked with the words east or west telling which way you are headed.  Other colored carsonite markers designate bike and hiking trails which horses should not be on.   Dark green carsonite markers are for the multi-use trail opens to all trail users.
