NP. To OP, avoid trails where you won't be able to move far enough from other people. We went  really early to a supposedly quiet state forest to walk with DC but already lots of "off-road" bicyclists were pounding down the trails there puffing and panting hard. The trails are promoted for both walkers and bikers but are narrow in some places and not all cyclists gave any heads-up they were getting close (as cyclists on suburban trails often do). No ability to move off the trail as they blew by, in some locations. I know people will post here that "you can't catch the virus outdoors" (wrong, you still need to distance outside) and "you're anxious" blah blah, but if you don't want people passing you just three feet away while panting hard out of their gaping-open mouths....then don't do any trails through woods. Sorry but I was ready to leave as fast as I could since every cyclist but one passed within two to five feet of us. Of course they believe they will die if they cycle in masks. Funny but my friend who cycles mountains for competitions uses a specialized cycling mask and isn't dead yet. Our family cycles too but the trail cyclists clearly think their huffing breath can't affect anyone even from a few feet away. [/quote]
