Hi, hoping for some suggestions. I'd like to do some hiking with my two dogs. Here is what I'm looking for:

1 - Easy to moderate difficulty
2 - A place that I can drive to and park my car
3 - Dogs can be off-leash
4 - Optionally, some place for the dogs to do some swimming

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re:Hiking with dogs?

Hi:

Several possibilities I think. Tho I dunno about leashes; don't have dog.

Just a few ideas:

Dragon's Back - where can also walk a contour path along west slopes (easier than the ridge). Can park near the trail start above To Tei Wan. Shek O area or Deep Water Bay afterwards?

Peak area - circuit, Victoria Peak Garden; High West to add a bit of exercise. Down Pokfulam Road to Pokfulam (but, need to return to car!)

Clear Water Bay area perhaps, inc High Junk Peak Country Trail (much of which pretty easy - doesn't climb peak itself).

On weekdays, maybe roads up to ridge near Kowloon Peak; tho I'm not so sure re parking up there.

Pak Tam Chung, nr Sai Kung; again weekdays (as less people out) - the nature trail, to Sheung Yiu, and maybe along the family or country trail.

Catchwater along north slopes of Lion Rock.

Shing Mun Reservoir - Pineapple Dam Nature Trail, and maybe more walking on after that, looping back to Pineapple Dam.

Hope this helps. Maybe others will have more ideas.

Let us know if you find any great routes!

Martin
