One
of
my
favorite
places
to
walk
my
dog.
The
main
access
via
Collins
Hill
has
a
gate
that
is
often
closed
in
the
winter
(probably
because
the
road
down
to
the
small
parking
lot
is
quite
steep
and
would
be
treacherous
in
the
snow)
but
the
trails
can
be
accessed
on
either
end
by
the
Sunnyside
or
Casa
Loma
neighborhoods
(limited
street
parking)
or
off
of
Collins
Road.
The
lower
trail
is
fairly
wide
and
follows
the
lake
and
has
vault
toilets
and
trash
cans
midway
(please
pick
up
after
your
dog!).
There
is
a
unfenced
dog
beach
area
(a
bit
more
natural
-no
sandy
smooth
beach
here)
-
this
is
the
only
off-leash
area.
The
upper
trail
is
very
narrow
but
has
beautiful
views.
Watch
out
for
patches
of
a
prickly
pear
low
growing
cactus
-
they
will
get
stuck
in
your
dog's
paws-
they
are
in
a
few
areas
just
off
the
upper
trail.
Note
that
these
trails
tend
to
get
quite
busy
in
summer
and
on
weekends.
Also
a
nice
place
to
launch
your
kayak
with
a
dock
that
has
a
launch
for
handicapped
(only
in
the
summer).
