What About Cattle and Sheep On The Trails?


You may run into cattle or sheep on the trails. They are not aggressive, but they are large animals.

  • Here are some safety tips:

     Approach cattle and sheep slowly. Most will move away as people approach on foot or bicycle.

    If possible, walk around groups of cattle, not through them.

    Don't approach calves, even though they may seem cute. Their moms are usually watching and will not be happy.

    Avoid getting between calves and their mothers.

    If you see a sick cow or sheep, please report it to our staff at the Watershed office, Marina or the entrance gates.
