The Sterling Trail Tamers encourage all riders to follow the Snowmobiler's Code of Ethics when utilizing the trails. They are:
- I will be a good sportsman and conservationist.
- I recognize that people will judge all snowmobilers by my actions.
- I will use my influence with other snowmobile owners and operators to promote sportsman-like conduct.
- I will not litter trails or areas, nor will I pollute streams or lakes. I will carry out what I carry in.
- I will not damage living trees, shrubs, or other natural features. I will go out only when there is sufficient snow so that I will not damage the land.
- I will respect other people's properties and rights.
- I will lend a helping hand when I see someone in need.
- I will make myself and my vehicle available to assist search and rescue operations.
- I will not interfere with the activities of other winter sportsmen. I will respect their rights to enjoy their recreational activity.
- I will know and obey all federal, state, and local rules regulating the operation of snowmobiles in areas where I use my vehicle.
- I will not harass wildlife.
- I will not snowmobile where prohibited.
