Great hiking trails, my dog loved it too! Just be careful, some spots require watching your feet or you'll roll an ankle!

Department of conservation land. Been there with Earthwise Aware and often find gorgeous wildlife. There's no wifi in the woods lol. Attached some of the photos from my most recent hike so you can see the beautiful wildlife for yourselves

Mostly gravel trail and flat. Lots of shaded sections. Some mountain bikers and dogs off leash. It’s a water reservoir. Parking can be challenged on a weekend with nice weather.

Many beautiful hiking trails. Upland and a lowland area. Small parking lots.

Fantastic spot to take the dog. Park at Sheepfold dog park and take your dog to the massive field with other doggos prancing and playing, and/or take a nice hike along the beautiful reservoir with the canine. Beautiful views.
