CSC shares guidelines for using trails
CHADRON – Chadron State College is pleased to provide access to several trails bordering campus. And, in order to help keep trails healthy, all users are encouraged to follow the college’s trail guidelines.
While walking or running on an unpaved trail, avoid rutted areas to encourage re-growth of buffalo grass. When trails are damp and muddy, turn back. Footprints can lead to ruts or mud holes in the trail.
Grounds Supervisor Lucinda Mays encourages visitors to help grow CSC’s unpaved trails.
“The (cross country) trail is all buffalo grass and only watered through natural precipitation, no irrigation is used,” Mays said.
Mays hopes to develop the trail into a running surface for both cross country and community use.
CSC maintains its unpaved trails like the C-Hill trail, the cross country course, and the Tenth St. Trail, but when those trails are muddy or wet, consider paved routes like the Sandoz Heritage Trail, which is maintained by CSC’s grounds crew through the winter. You can also care for CSC’s trails by yielding to pedestrians while cycling and keeping dogs leashed and picking up after them. No motorized vehicles or horses are allowed on any of CSC’s trails.
An online map of CSC’s trails is available.
