It was too hot for us to go on an adventure this weekend. Instead, please join us as we daydream about our 2016 visit to Roque Bluffs State Park. Located on Schoppee Point in Roque Bluffs, Maine, this park offers over 6 miles of dog friendly hiking through diverse terrain. Consisting of 274 acres, the […]
The Bellamy River Wildlife Management Area in Dover, New Hampshire is a dog friendly hike buzzing with activity. Follow these trails through fields of wildflowers surrounded by the sounds of bees, to a pond where you just may see a resident heron. Continue into the forest for perhaps a quick glimpse of a deer, while […]
Spoiler Alert: lions and tigers and elephants are NOT at Stonehouse Forest in Barrington, New Hampshire. Or at least that may be what the previous owner dreamed he would find when he pieced together 50 parcels of land to create his own private exotic game hunting reserve. However, apparently this “European investor” was not familiar […]
After being sidelined for over a year, here is our first new dog trail review for 2021! We visited the Massabesic Experimental Forest in Alfred, Maine. Now as you can probably understand “experimental forest” sure caught my attention. But you’re not going to find mad scientists lurking behind every tree, or monsters running amuck. What […]
Join us as we take a hike up memory lane at dog friendly Mount Agamenticus in York, Maine. Consisting of over 10,000 acres and 40 miles of trails ranging from easy to difficult, Mount Agamenticus offers endless opportunities for dog friendly hiking. On the day we visited in 2016 our dogs hiked the popular Ring […]

Sorry to be so harsh with my reminder, but lately I’ve been seeing a lot of […]
This evening yet another town council is having a meeting to discuss tighter restrictions on dogs at their beach. In the past few years, we have seen places we once enjoyed ban dogs entirely, or enact highly restrictive rules, and yet we understand why towns feel they have no other choice but to do it. […]
Acadia National Park is great dog friendly place to explore. However, with more than 3.5 million visitors each year, some spots can get more crowded than others. To alleviate some of the parking congestion, in addition to purchasing a pass to enter the park, if you’re planning to visit Cadillac Mountain you will also have […]
With the pandemic limiting inside gatherings, many pups are hitting the trails for the first time this winter. Sure you may be experienced hiking in the spring through fall, but winter brings its own unique set of safety challenges for dogs. So before heading out, here are precautions to take so that everyone enjoys the […]
It has been a long year for all of us. So why not breathe in the fresh air and start 2021 on the right paw with a First Week Hike! Traditionally these have been guided tours at state parks across the country on January 1st. But this year, as with everything else, things are a […]
