14. The park employs a Lightning Prediction System, which will sound a 15-second horn blast and a flashing strobe, alerting that a storm is imminent. Once the alarm has sounded and strobes begin flashing, outdoor activity must be suspended, and shelter should be sought immediately, either in a large building or an enclosed vehicle. Outdoor activity may be resumed only after three (3) 5-second horn blasts have sounded, indicating the storm has moved out of the area. If you remain outdoors after the warning alarm is issued, please be advised that you do so at your own risk! In the event of the lightning prediction system sounds, all riders must exit trails when the lightning prediction system warning horns sound. Riders may not reenter the trails until the all-clear signal (three short blasts) is heard.
15. No littering: pack it in and out.
16. All riders must abide by the Broward County Parks and Recreation Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct can be found at Safety & Security Customer Code of Conduct (broward.org).
