Is there anything better than being outside in Maine? If you answered no, we actually have to disagree. The one thing better than being outside in Maine is being outside in Maine with dogs! With so many dog-friendly trails, there aren’t many times when you need to leave the dogs at home. But to take it to the next level consider taking this guided hike where dogs are provided. If you don’t have your own but are considering adding one to the family to enjoy some time outside, this might be a great way to try it out.
Getting outside and exploring trails is one of the best ways to learn more about any state. Of course in Maine, it's just a little bit more beautiful! Especially in the part of the state where this dog-led hike takes place.
Penobscot, located in Hancock County near Bar Harbor, offers lots of beauty. And this hike through a network of trails near a local farm is a great way to see it.
Questions are encouraged and the host guides are always eager to talk about their work with the dogs. In addition to immersion into nature, hikers will have the chance to understand what can be taught by pack animals.
This is a great hike for anyone with a love of dogs, a love of nature, and those who love the combination!
