My Trail Review:
June 2008
I have hiked this trail several times now and enjoyed it each time. It is a very popular local trail where many use it for daily excercise and weekly recreation. It is a very well maintained scenic city trail that is flat and easy to follow. You start out down in the Sundog Ranch Road parking area in a wooded area on the south east side of Watson Lake and continue moving north along the east side of the lake.

Along the way you may see ducks, geese, birds and other wild life that help make it an interesting trek for all ages. The views start out pleasant and end up rather exotic one of a kind experiences that help make the trail well worth the effort. Be sure to bring your camera.

The Peavine trail is wide and well used. Many cyclists use the trail and even though they are supposed to yield to hikers it is best to be ready to get yourself, children and pets out of their way as they pass by you. Most all were courteous and friendly when I hiked but if they are novice they might not know how to safely come up on and pass you with out getting caught up in the dog leash or bumping a human so you will want to beware and stay alert.

Wear a hat and sunglasses and bring plenty of water with you as towards the end of the trail where it interconnects with the Iron King Trail there is very little shade on the trail and it can get really hot in the direct sun light. Bring some extra water for your pet too they will need it!

The trail is very easy to follow and well marked all the way. There are many very exotic and beautiful vista views of the lake and the surrounding Granite Dells rock formations.

Enjoy the hike!
