Burgess Falls State Park

Description: BFSP Bark Ranger

Location: Burgess Falls State Park

Join us for a 1-mile hike on the River Trail to learn what it takes to become a B.A.R.K Ranger and demonstrate those paw-ifications to earn your BFSP B.A.R.K Ranger tag! 

This hike is recommended for dogs who are ready and able to demonstrate the four principles of being a B.A.R.K Ranger including: 

• Bag your pet’s waste and dispose of it properly 
• Always wear a leash 
• Respect wildlife and park visitors 
• Know where you can go 

Each dog and their owner will complete a short checklist while on the River Trail. After the hike we will head to the picnic tables to be sworn in as an official B.A.R.K. Ranger.

Each dog will receive a BFSP B.A.R.K Ranger tag and certificate of completion.

We will meet at the River Trailhead to start our hike. To make the most of this experience, we recommend dressing comfortably for outdoor activities, wearing sturdy shoes, and bringing water for yourself and your dog. Please also bring dog poop bags and dog leash. 

Registration is required for this program. 

In the event of inclement weather, this program will be cancelled.
