Abstract: This article aims to assist the public use planning for the Pedra do Urubu Trail, located in the south of the municipality of Palhoça (SC) and inserted in the Serra do Tabuleiro State Park. For this purpose, a survey of the perception and preferences of visitors was carried out through the application of questionnaires and the Limit Acceptable Change (LAC) methodology was used to analyze the physical and recreational indicators of the trail together with the management proposals. The indicators that stood out the most in the questionnaires were those connected to the safety of hikers, such as the absence of steps, ropes and handrails to aid movement, slipping points and the lack of control in the number of people at the top of the lookout point. Among the interviews, 80% declared that these indicators have a strong influence on the experience and approximately 60% claimed that the condition observed was bad or very bad. Through the steps of the LAC methodology, the following indicators were defined: invasive alien species, secondary trails, clearing areas, garbage/waste, number of visitors at the lookout point and meeting between groups. The conclusion is that in the planning, the physical integrity of the hikers should be prioritized, limiting the number of people at the lookout point, as well as the implementation of education and environmental interpretation panels in order to sensitize visitors to the environmental fragility of the trail and the geosite importance.
