The trail is generally considered easy, but there are some steep sections and steep drop-offs/cliffs near the waterfront.
Stay on the designated trail and use extra caution around the water's edge, steep cliffs, and sharp turns.
The trail includes three suspension bridges and other safety features; cross bridges carefully and follow posted instructions.
Surfaces can become wet and slippery, particularly during or after rain.
Be alert for wildlife, especially bald eagles and other coastal wildlife.
If bringing a dog, check current local wildlife conditions. The City specifically warns that wolves are present in the area and recommends avoiding bringing pets when wolves have recently been spotted.
Follow all construction signs and barricades around the Rushbrook Improvement Area.
Bring rain gear and suitable footwear, and pack out all garbage.
