A majority of Duluth's natural surface trails are open for public use.

Duluth's Park and Recreation Division made the announcement Monday, and asked the public to observe proper trail etiquette and stewardship, according to a news release from the city.

The division reminds people to respect trail closures, avoid wet and muddy trails, turn around if your footprint or bike is leaving an imprint, and go straight through wet or muddy trails to prevent path widening.

After rain, trails will typically close for 24 hours in order to dry, the release reads.
