Dogs can be walked the full length of the trail. Signage with specific instructions for placing your dog on a lead apply in certain areas. These instructions are to protect you, livestock, wildlife and your dog.
Please keep your dog out of all ponds and reed beds so as not to disturb wildlife. Please clean up after your dog and take the bagged waste home with you. Please do not disturb wildlife or other visitors along the Trail.
The majority of the walk is through fields, along the canal banks and quiet roads. Parts of the trail are narrow, allowing for single file walking only. It may get muddy during the winter in certain parts. The woodland areas are firm but can be slippery where roots break the mudded surface.
Take extra care when crossing the A1079 just outside Market Weighton. It requires caution as this is a busy 60mph road.
There are a kissing gates at Sand Lane, Lorne Farm and the Washlands. A wooden stile is also at Lorne Farm. But as a whole, the walk is flat, making it easy for most to walk.
The only public toilet on the trail is at Market Weighton.
