   #1 Goosepond Park

   48

   The Goosepond Mountain State Park is a 1,706-acre undeveloped park in Chester where you can find a very nice dog-friendly trail called Goose Pond Mountain Trail. The trail is 5.15 miles long, and you can reach the end of the trail in approximately 3 hours. The only problem with this trail is that the territory is unmarked and it is very easy to get lost. Take a map or a use GPS for safety reasons. Even though you can take your fur baby with you, he must be on-leash at all times, and the leash has to be no longer than 6 feet. You should bring lots of water for you and your pup and waste bags to clean up after your dog.

   Here, you'll find the Orange Heritage Trail, which starts in Monroe and finishes all the way over in Middletown, NY. This lengthy trail is 12 miles long and 10 feet wide. The trail is multipurpose; people hike, ride bicycles, and rollerblade here, so keep that in mind. You can bring your dog along, but he has to be on-leash at all times. The trail passes through wildlife sanctuaries, historic landmarks, streams, communities, and meadows. It's a unique experience for you and your pup! You should be prepared if you're planning on finishing the whole trail, though. Bring lots of water, snacks for your pup and yourself, and of course waste bags so you can clean up after your doggo.

   Around 18 miles east of Chester is the Storm King State Park. The hiking trail here is pretty difficult to complete, even though it's just 3.5 miles long. It would take you around three hours to complete it along with your pup. Your dog must be on-leash and is not allowed in the picnic areas. The hike offers incredible views of the Hudson River, Bannerman Island, Cold Spring, and Constitution Marsh. Make sure you bring plenty of water and snacks for your four-legged baby. You should also bring a camera for an awesome photoshoot with your best fur-iend!
