Dog walking in Greene

Harpursville

36

The town of Harpursville is just south of Greene, and is home to the 1000-acre Beaver Flow State Forest. This green space offers a dog-friendly multiple use trail along the southwestern edge of the forest, as well a longer hiking trail that runs diagonally through the forest from northwest to southeast. Both trails feature abundant wildlife, including the beaver for which the forest is named. The presence of beaver dams attracts lots of other wildlife to the pools and ponds created by them, as well as the surrounding meadows. Camping is permitted 150 feet from trails, and the park is open year-round. Pawsome!
