Water Dog Lake trail entrance

Great place for mountain biking.

Great little neighborhood park to ride...lots of trails that can be looped together for longer rides. The nice thing is the trails interlock within each other so you won't get lost.

I just returned from a great hike in Water Dog Lake park with my dog (on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, no less). A few mountain bikers and some dog walkers, but not crowded at all. This is a true gem of a canyon park smack in the middle of the Peninsula, in Belmont. The main trail from the Trailhead (the left fork at the entrance) is wide, mostly downhill, and has many benches and great views of the canyon. At the nice lake, I took the little trail that goes around the lake. I returned by taking the rustic, uphill Berry Trail, that hooks up to the John Brooks Trail, also lots of uphill. I was glad to get back to the Trailhead!

Great hiking trail for walking the dog. Easy access, free street parking. Nice folks, safe location. Very natural location trash can at access point ant at water dog lake shore only. One or two benches only. No restrooms, take your own water.
Please pick up after your pet and if you lace it, remember to get on your way back.

Great place for a short hike. There is a pretty trail around the lake. Also favourite with runners, hikers and dog owners.
