the first 24 pages
Doug Gelbert, author of 17 books on hiking with your dog, has brought his pack to Connecticut to sniff out the best tail-friendly parks and trails. Connecticut can be a great place to hike with your dog. Within a short drive your canine adventurer can be climbing hills that leave him panting, trotting on some of the most historic grounds in America, exploring the estates of America's wealthiest families or circling lakes for miles and never lose sight of the water....
- Where can your dog hike along the abandoned railraod where the only 4-train wreck in American history occurred? (page 117)
- Where can your dog meet the spectral black dog of certain doom on the trail?
(page 51)- Where can your dog hike to the 165-foot Bavarian tower of a one-time liquor magnate? (page 57)
No Dogs! Is there any more dispiriting day for a dog owner than driving to a new park and encountering the dreaded "NO DOGS" sign? DOGGIN' CONNECTICUT tells you the parks that don't welcome dogs. Also packed inside these 144 pages are...
...rules for dogs on Long Island Sound beaches
...dog-friendly Connecticut campgrounds
...tips on outfitting your dog for a hike
...tips on practicing low impact hiking with your dog
...and much more.What makes a great place to take your dog hiking?
Well, how about a paw-friendly surface to trot on? Grass and sandy dirt are a lot more appealing than asphalt and rocks. A variety of hikes is always good - long ones for athletic dogs and short ones for the less adventurous canine. Dogs always enjoy a refreshing place to swim as well. For tail-friendly parks our guides describe the trail options for your dog, evaluate park traffic from other users, tell you whether you will need a guide dog to find your way around and, of course, tell you how to get to the park.While walking the dog, Gelbert also brings along generous helpings of local history, botany, geology, architecture and more. So what are you waiting for? Your dog will want to hike past the site of the world's first successful condensed milk factory (page 29), hike along one man's former miniature railroad (page 79), look for Connecticut's only lizard (page 73), see the state's Plymouth Rock (page 103)...
