Description
This trail is in a section of the park that allows dogs to be off leash.
The trail starts by climbing a hill through a mossy spruce forest. It soon passes the Moose Trax Trail on the left and then travels along a hill passing the Heartrate Hill Trail on the right. The trail then descends down to Owen Lake where there is an access trail that takes you out to the lake. It then climbs through a hardwood ridge before dropping down into a ravine. The rocky ravine holds the stream that flows from Long Lake to Owen and is quite impressive. The trail then climbs up out of the ravine and passes the Sponge Bob Trail on the right before coming to the Long Lake Trail.
