Short, sweet, and local... this hike is a lovely place to wander the woods and take a dip with the pups.

A short loop around a lovely pond. My favorite spot is the peninsula mid-way through the walk... I can sit and read while the girls wander the shore and sniff and wade and drink.

Forest and creek not far from town.
Read MoreDog Mountain
Let's say you're an eccentric dog-loving artist. What do you do with your money? Well, buy a 150-acre mountain and dedicate it to the love of dogs! I'm a little jealous that Stephen Huneck did it first. Dog Mountain is a worthwhile pilgrimage to St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Serene, picturesque, and dog-welcoming... my girls loved wandering through the gallery of Huneck's work, sniffed the butts of the chapel dogs, dunked into the pond, and roamed the hills of lupine. What a great day!
Pond-side Picnic at Mack’s
Just north and on the opposite side of the road of the Mack’s Apples farm stand is a lovely grassy field that slopes gently down to a small pond. Perfect for the older fur baby who can’t hike too far, but wants to cool her paws.
