EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Willamette National Forest is warning mountain bikers to beware of small barriers that someone erected on trails in the Middle Fork Ranger District.
Hikers are being asked to dismantle the barriers of logs, branches and dirt because of the hazard.
The Register Guard reports (http://bit.ly/puPU8s ) barriers have been reported in the past two weeks on three trails popular with hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers south of Lookout Point Lake.
Hikers and horseback riders can avoid them, but they’ve been place on steep portions of trails below switchbacks where they pose a risk to people on bikes. No injuries have been reported.
