PLEASE READ: Safety Concerns on Sleepy Hollow Trails (Sent via email to all registered members)

Dear Sleepy Hollow Neighbors,

We are writing to you with concerns about recent activity in our neighborhood. Recently, several issues have been brought to our attention by members, and we want everyone to be aware of them:

1. Dirt bike or e-bike use on the trails. This is dangerous for both the rider and others using the trails. It can cause property damage and frighten horses and pedestrians. Wheeled vehicles have never been permitted on the Sleepy Hollow trail system.
2. The riding of e-bikes, dirt bikes, or quads well above the speed limit. The 25 mph speed limit applies to all who use our roads.
3. E-bike or dirt bike riders trespassing onto private property (and in some cases, causing property damage).

We ask all residents to please discuss these concerns with household members and any visitors. Our community guidelines are in place to keep Sleepy Hollow safe, peaceful, and enjoyable for everyone. We are grateful that the vast majority of our members—and their children—follow the rules and enjoy our roads, trails, and lake responsibly. Unfortunately, the actions of a few are creating problems that impact us all.

Please continue to treat your neighbors with kindness and respect as we enjoy these shared resources, and take a moment to talk with your children about safety and courtesy in the neighborhood. If you observe any suspicious activity, please contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately at 911 if the situation is urgent or at the EDSO non-emergency line (530) 621-5655. 

Unsafe operations or trail violations can be reported to the board at support@shoanews.org. Include details like time, location, number and type of vehicles, and pictures of the incidents if available. Please DO NOT post pictures to social media, especially if the subjects are minors. These details can assist the board to cooperate with law enforcement and identify opportunities for educating residents. The Board will collect and review any pictures or information provided, but please remember that we are not law enforcement, and reporting unsafe or illegal activity directly to the authorities ensures a timely response.

Thank you for your attention, cooperation, and care for our community.

Warm regards, 

Sleepy Hollow Owner’s Association Board
