STAYING SAFE
TELL OTHERS WHERE YOU’LL BE. If possible, avoid exploring alone. Tell someone where
you are going and when you plan to return.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONNECT. It’s a good idea to take along a cell phone and GPS
unit, but don’t count on them.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL PLANTS AND ANIMALS LIVE HERE. You’ll see them more
easily if you stay on trails.
Trash your trash. Keep the park natural. Pack out all of your trash and Leave No Trace, including dog waste bags!
KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Watch out for uneven terrain, and don’t venture into areas beyond
your ability.
Don’t Pocket The Past. Help preserve Texas’ heritage. Leave artifacts where you find them and report their location to a ranger.
Leave feeding to nature. Feeding wild animals will make them sick and more likely to cause harm to people.
Keep pets on leashes or their safety, and to protect wildlife.
Campfires are permitted only in designated rings and not in the primitive camping area due to potential for ground scarring
and wildfires.
FOR EMERGENCIES, PLEASE CALL 9-1-1.
