Hinkson Woods Conservation Area

This is a very nice conservation area right in the middle of city of Columbia. It is strategically located, accessible via the MKT trail and situated right next to the Twin Lake park which also contains Columbia's larget fenced-in dog park and a large lake where your dogs can swim. The MKT trail is the local's favorite for walking, biking, and jogging. It goes for more than 5 miles within the city limit, and continues on beyond.

Pros: Located right next to Twin Lake dog park and MKT trail

Cons: none

Kudos to Columbia for having a dog park like this and addressing issues to improve on its safety and success. THe fence across the back residential side is a great addition along with the trees that were planted on the lake's edge.

Pros: twin lakes part

Cons: dogs can swim around fencing
