Q:
Do you know of any OFF leash trails for dogs?  I'm relocating to the area and trying to find some places.  I'm coming from northern CA where there are lots of off leash hiking areas, so any info you can provide would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Hi Judy,

Welcome to San Diego!

Fiesta Island allows dogs off-leash, and there are
walking trails all around the island where dogs can
get in the water, too, if they want.

Another ocean area where dogs can play is Dog Beach.

Here is a link to a site with a map of both of these:

There is also a new off-leash trail in Encinitas. See
this trail here: http://www.padz.org/sdge.html and
also be sure to visit the padz site as a whole for
good information about pet friendly areas in San Diego.

Have fun!
