This new order is a change in how Folsom Lake will enforce usage on its trails - essentially this brings FLSRA into line with the rest of the state recreation areas. From this point forward, all trails are open to hikers but closed to others unless the trail is signed as "open" to equestrians and/or bikes.
As for speed limits on bikes:
"No person shall operate a bicycle in such a way as to endanger hikers, equestrians or others using State Park property, or in such a way as to damage park resources. No person shall operate a bicycle within Folsom sector of the Gold Fields District at a greater speed than is reasonable and prudent, nor in any event in excess of 15 MPH. No person shall operate a bicycle in excess of 5 MPH when passing hikers or equestrians, or when approaching and negotiating a blind turn. Blind turn is defined as not being able to see oncoming traffic from a distance of 100 feet or less."
Also, "The use of Class 2 and Class 3 e-bikes are prohibited on all trails."
