  1. Dashed lines identify the trails in Park Map (see figure above). Hold down the <Shift> key, then with the Select cursor left-click on each of the trails. Use zoom and screen scrolling to see all the trails.

If a wrong feature is accidentally selected, de-select by clicking again on the same feature with the shift key still depressed. To start again left-click in a blank area to de-select all features.
