A river to swim in
Dog hikes with a swim spot
Tracks with a river, lake or beach where your dog can cool off along the way. A swim turns a hot-day hike into the best part of a dog's week, and it is the feature owners ask us for most. Watch the current and rinse salt or lake water off your dog afterwards.
