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.

Sheep Camp Trail (Gravel Connector between Belmont-Cañada Roads)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great way to get over 280 heading either way. Not too steep. Mostly dirt, but some parts are loose gravel. Should probably have at least 32mm tires for this one.
