Running
Escape the city and dive into nature with a run to the beautiful secluded Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir. The lake was constructed in 1914 to distribute the water from Owens Valley. Today it is a great recreation area within Franklin Canyon Park with nice short hiking trails that are great for trail running.
