Attention Horseback Riders

Horses must remain on trails.
Due to a number of complaints regarding horse manure left on the trail, we are instituting a policy for manure removal. There is a manure fork directly behind our portlets for your use. Please return following your ride, or have another person responsible for pick up.

We want everyone to enjoy their visit at the park and we welcome your help.

Please call the Park District or email us at 899-2693 or jupdistrict@ gmail.com with any questions.
