Staying Safe in the Winter Months
The LINC trail system is a great way to explore Newnan, but with the changing weather, we need to remember to stay safe while exploring the outdoors. We want all our Newnan friends to be able to enjoy the LINC during these cold winter months, but don’t forget these safety tips:
Make sure to dress in layers, so you can stay warm. Layering also helps for those days where it starts cold, but gradually gets warmer. You can always remove a layer, but it’s better to start safe and warm, even if the cold only lasts a few hours.
Don’t forget your sunscreen. Even though it’s cold outside, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t still shining down on us. Sunscreen is always important if you’re spending time outside, even during the coldest months of the year.
Remember to stay hydrated. It’s easy to forget to drink enough water when you’re spending time outdoors during the winter, but dehydration is always a problem. Packing warm water, instead of ice cold water can make you more likely to keep drinking on your outdoor adventures. This way, you stay hydrated and keep yourself warm.
Please stay safe on the trails and have a wonderful winter as you explore everything nature has to offer in these colder months.
