Dangerous Activity
The trail is a far safer place to cycle, run, or hike than a typical street. But there are inherent dangers in these activities, and persons must undertake these activities with the proper attitude toward safety. In particular, the following features of the Hennepin Canal Trail could be dangerous:
The trail crosses or uses streets and highways in some areas, where vehicles travel in excess of 55 miles per hour.
Vehicles traveling at high speeds may approach more quickly than expected.
A lack of proper attitude toward safety while using the trail could result in injury or death.
Extra care must be taken when traveling with children, particularly around the hazards listed above.
The trail passes through some residential or commercial areas where pedestrians use the trail like a sidewalk. These pedestrians often are not accustomed to bike trails and not alert for cyclists. Proceed with caution where pedestrians my be present.
Do not swim in the rivers. Do not walk across frozen bodies of water in the winter.
Cycling, running, and hiking are physical activities requiring exertion. Do not attempt to use the trail if you are not in adequate physical condition.
