   Covering 110 acres in Mantua and neighboring Deptford Township, the Tall Pines State Preserve was once a popular golf course. Today, it is a natural haven for numerous bird species and outdoor enthusiasts. Fido is welcome to join you in exploring the preserve's grasslands, woodlands, freshwater wetlands, and ponds. Just remember to keep him on a six-foot leash and pick up after him; a “carry in, carry out” policy is implemented at Tall Pines. There are several paved, unpaved, and unmarked trails that meander throughout the area, including former asphalt golf cart paths, so be prepared to walk a lot!

   Is Fido itching for some off-leash fun? Then head down to the Washington Lake Park Dog Park in nearby Washington Township! Open from 6 am until dusk, this dog park has two fenced areas for small and large puppers, allowing dogs to play and interact with other canines their own size. The Washington Lake Park Dog Park features a dirt surface that gives the area a more natural feel, and numerous trees that provide ample shade on warm days. Before you let Fido run loose at the dog park, however, make sure that you've registered first at the Washington Township Municipal Building.
