Reservoir Loop Walk
One of the best walks/hikes in the park, you get views of the entrance to Highland Park, the fountain, the adjacent skyscraper apartment building, and various views of the park depending on the season.
Dogs are not permitted on this trail since the reservoir is a public water supply.
Water source: There's a running water fountain along the trail during warmer months and can often be found running during colder months too, surprisingly.
