安全与礼仪
小道礼仪
Cyclists, walkers, runners and dog walkers love using the trails at 海湾州立公园! Trail Etiquette varies by region, but the following etiquette guidelines will help you and other visitors have a safe, fun and relaxing time at the park. 当有疑问时, remember the "golden rule" - treat other trail users how you want to be treated and respect the wildlife and lands of Alabama the beautiful.
- Use earbuds or headphones to listen to music. This courtesy enables other guests to become immersed in their natural surroundings and enjoy activities such as viewing wildlife and listening to birds.
- 让别人知道你. A friendly "hello" or "passing on your left" lets other trail users know your intent and helps create a friendly atmosphere. There's nothing more startling than a cyclist whizzing past you when you thought you were alone.
- 清理宠物的粪便. Dog feces can contain harmful bacteria such as E.coli and salmonella and is a common carrier of hookworms and parvo! There are multiple trash cans conveniently located throughout the backcountry trails. Please bring bags with you to dispose of pet waste properly.
- Bring water or a water bottle. There are several water fountains within the trail system, but it's always a good idea to bring a bottle with you so that you have it on hand when you or someone in your group needs it. Be sure to bring enough water for you and your pet(s).
- 照顾好你的宠物. Take your dog for a walk during the cooler times of day, such as first thing in the morning or in the evening. Hot asphalt can burn your dog's paws and cause serious pain and injury. Do the seven second test to see if it's too hot for Fido's feet - touch your bare hand or foot to the ground and hold it there for 7-8 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them!
- 妥善处置废物. Please consider the impacts of what you leave behind on trails. 烟头, 食品包装纸, and even organic litter like orange peels and pistachio shells are harmful to wildlife and the environment. Dispose of your rubbish in the trash and recycling bins located throughout the park.
- 尊重野生动物. Keep your distance from any wildlife you encounter, such as alligators and snakes, for both your safety and the safety of these animals. For detailed information, please see our 野生动物的安全 Recommendations.
