Westlake Trails Map & Guide
Have you been out on our trails lately? Westlake has more than 10 miles of public/private connected trails for you to enjoy and staff is pleased to announce that we now have a map to show you where the trails are located.
The Westlake Trails Map & Guide includes a color-coded legend that shows four trails: Dove-Davis, Solana, Granada and Glenwyck and identifies the locations of trailheads with parking, pedestrian underpasses, shade structures, drinking fountains, and those historical markers located along the trails. We hope you enjoy exploring our community's oasis of natural beauty and miles of scenic trails. Now let's all get out and walk Westlake!
