View From the Top of Dog-Friendly Douglas Preserve
Being a dog in the great outdoors is great. And being an off-leash dog in the great outdoors is even better!
That’s why I love going dog friendly hikes on the Wilcox Trail, which leads up to the Douglas Preserve. This wide open 70-acre park hugs the cliffs above the dog friendly beach at Hendry’s and has spectacular panoramic views. Not to mention, dogs can roam around the trails off leash! Did I mention how much I love being off leash?
There’s tons of interesting wilderness to sniff and explore. And when you get to the top of the coastal bluffs, there’s a doggie water fountain ready to quench your thirst! The walks loops around for about 1 mile and you can enjoy dramatic views from many points along the hike!
Enjoying an Off Leash Hike with My New Friend!
Directions: From U.S. 101 in Santa Barbara, exit on Las Positas Road and follow it 1.5 miles south (toward the ocean) to its terminus at Cliff Drive. Turn right and turn into parking lot of adjacent Arroyo Burro Beach County Park.
You can also follow Cliff Drive east (down-coast) to Mesa Lane and turn right. Just before the lane reaches its end at the Mesa Lane coastal access way, turn right onto Borton. Turn left onto Linda. Street parking is available.
