Detailed Description

This trail is a popular trail with dog walkers. Hence the name of the trail I guess. The trail is actually outside of Mount Seymour Provincial Park which only includes that land east of the height of land along the Mount Seymour Ridge. It is managed by the Water Services team that is part of MetroVancouver. They have done some recent work on the trail but much more needs to be done.

There are some slippery rocky sections and also slippery root sections of the trail. There is some good sections too. The trail leads to a nice viewpoint.
