The trails and sidewalks on Daniel Island are a place of enjoyment, relaxation, and recreation for the residents of Daniel Island. Below are a few courtesy and safety reminders to keep everyone’s experiences safe and enjoyable.
Multi-Use Trails
All trails on Daniel Island are multi-use trails. This means that they can be utilized by runners, walkers, cyclists, and strollers alike. Even though they are labeled as multi-use, the use of motorized, electric (including e-bikes, scooters, golf carts, motorized skateboards, etc), or otherwise is prohibited.
Stay to the Right, Pass on the Left
Be courteous when sharing the sidewalks and trails with your neighbors – there’s enough room for everyone. Please remember to pass on the left and announce yourself to your neighbor when you are about to pass from behind…a gentle “on your left” works.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Be aware of your surroundings. Are you distracted by technology instead of focusing on the beauty of the outdoors? When wearing earbuds, remove the left side so you can hear people passing.
Protect Our Environment
Remember to dispose of any trash that you have when you leave the trails either in the cans nearby or at your home. If you’ve decided to bring your pets along for a walk, remember to keep them on a leash at all times (unless you are inside the dog parks) and by all means, pick up after them. The POA has provided convenient pet waste stations throughout the entire community for you to discard their waste.

Most of all, be friendly and courteous. Good path etiquette means more fun for every one and thank you for continuing to do your part when using our parks, trails, common areas, and amenities.
