This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Calling all pups and their people! Join Seasonal Ranger Crow for a guided, dog-friendly hike to the Big Ridge Dam in celebration of our new B.A.R.K. Ranger program. This easy one-mile (round-trip) hike is a great opportunity for you and your leashed pet to explore the park, learn about dog-friendly trails, and practice the four B.A.R.K. Ranger principles: Bag your pet’s waste, Always leash your pet, Respect wildlife, and Know where you can go.
Dogs who complete the hike can be sworn in as official B.A.R.K. Rangers and receive a certificate to take home. B.A.R.K. Ranger items will be available for purchase at the gift shop.
All dogs must remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet. Please bring water for you and your dog, wear closed-toe shoes, and be prepared for uneven terrain. Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended
