Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Can I take my dog with me? Yes, dogs are allowed in the Cove Trail Network (white trails only). All dogs must be kept on a leash. Bags for collecting dog waste are available along the Bear Creek Path and at Cove Oasis. Dogs are prohibited beyond the white trails due to the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan. How strenuous are the trails? Trails in the Cove Trail Network (white) are easy, traversing a mostly flat area of compacted sand that is perfect for walking or riding your bike. Beyond the white trails the sand is loose, so it’s like walking on a beach. Here the terrain remains mostly flat until you reach the base of the mountains where trails become steep. Those interested in a short hike with a gradual incline should try the Cove to Lake Trail. Others who prefer more difficult and lengthy hikes will enjoy the Boo Hoff and Palm Oasis hikes.
