Lamorinda Weekly Newspaper writer, Jenn Freedman, put together a great list of 6 local dog friendly trails. 

“While popular paved trails like the Lafayette Reservoir and the Lafayette-Moraga Trail are convenient options, they are heavily-trafficked and can be a bit distracting, especially for puppies. Plus, exploring a road less traveled often brings the reward of breathtaking views.” https://www.lamorindaweekly.com/.../Discovering-dog...

Today’s feature is the Lafayette Ridge Trail:

* Distance: Up to 6.6 miles out and back, depending on where you turn around

* Dog Rules: Allowed off leash as long as 200+ feet from entrance

* Level: Generally moderate, with a few more difficult hills on the far end of the ridge

* Access: Lafayette Ridge Staging Area on Pleasant Hill Road

* More Info: Managed by East Bay Regional Park District; https://www.ebparks.org/parks/briones/
