POP UP ADVENTURE: Hike, Swim, and Dinner

ABOUT THE EVENT:
This walk is part of a series of walks that “pop up” on the calendar throughout the year. It gives members the opportunity to get out more and enjoy fresh air and friends.

Join us Saturday afternoon for a fun outing to explore the Heads Pond Trail in Hooksett, NH. This trail is 3 miles out and back, flat and wide, packed gravel trail frequented by bicyclists and dog walkers. The trail has scenic views of Lakin’s Pond and Head’s Pond with several opportunities for the dogs to swim. At the turn around point of our walk is a picturesque swimming hole for dogs.

After, we will gather for dinner and ice cream at The Brick House Drive-In Restaurant in Hooksett. They have a beautiful outside, dog-friendly area and serve a full menu.

IS THIS EVENT GOOD FOR REACTIVE DOGS?
This is a popular trail on weekends and can get busy. The trail is wide and there is space to pull over if needed. If your dog gets more nervous and anxious around people and possible bicyclists, this may not be a comfortable trail for them. There is plenty of room to spread out at The Brick House. If you have concerns or questions about if this event is right for your dog, please email woof@goldendognh.com for assistance.
