Is this a federal, state or local government owned trail? If it's local government, just get in contact with somebody on the village/town board, and politely express your concerns and wish to use the trail during evening hours. I'm guessing that you won't meet up with much resistance. They'll contact the Sheriff's department and straighten things out.
