Rambler Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

I highly recommend riding Rambler Trail. It is one of the best mountain bike trails in Waterdog. Rambler Trail has also a very cool feature that leads you to the roof of an old abandoned car.

Water Dog Lake

Highlight • Lake

Watch out for poison oak when hiking around Water Dog Lake! As long as you avoid the three-leaved menace, you'll find some nice dirt trails, and welcome shade from oak trees, around this lake.

Tip by

This lake is actually an obstructed stream, once dammed up to provide water to nearby Belmont. Now it's a fantastic recreation site, with several loops of trails that are good for hiking, running and biking.
