I am a beginner and was riding with my daughter who has taken lessons. We were invited to arrive early and groom the horses which was so nice. The ride was mostly on dirt roads which ended up being great because we had the freedom to ride next to each other. The occasional cars on the road were so respectful. We even got to trot (tolt) which was an exhilarating experience for me, fastest I've ever gone on a horse!

There is a no plastic bagging policy, but scoopers and dog poop composting bins are placed throughout the park. The dog poop composting is maintained by VOLUNTEERS. There is a corner in the back reserved for the equipment the volunteers use to turn it into mulch and there was really no smell in that area at all! They have a water access point located within the large dog park. The small dog park has a separate entrance which was blocked by the snow. What is nice is that there is also an entrance between the large and small dog parks, which can be helpful for those small or reactive dogs who have settled down in the small dog park and want to try joining the large dog park. There is also a separate gate in the large dog park which opens to the woods on the back which border on the river. In warmer months, dogs can go swimming or wading in the river. There is a shelter with two picnic benches and a library book box within in the large dog park. The dog park is located at the end of a side road (River Road) from the main road (Route 2) surrounded by the woods near a river.

I picked a hiking trail in Vermont after getting lured in by some stunning photos online. Inspired (and slightly delusional), I stopped and picked up a pair of Oboz hiking shoes and some solid hiking socks--thankfully, one of my better decisions. Let me be clear: this trail was no joke. It twisted, turned, and climbed in ways that made my heart rate spike enough to question my life choices. At one point, I genuinely thought I heard Bigfoot breathing down my neck--turns out it was just me gasping for air. Here are the stats: 4,083 ft summit 7.4 miles round trip 2,645 ft vertical rise 6 hours of hiking The mountain is known as Tawabodi-e-wadso, which means "The Saddle Mountain" in the Waubawakee Native American language. Yes, I did my research--mainly because I felt like I needed to know the name of the place that almost killed me. (Kidding... kind of.) But here's the real truth: it was absolutely worth it. The trail winds through beautiful groves of maple and oak, with peaceful river streams breaking up the climb. It was majestic, serene, and a perfect reminder of why nature is one of the best places to push your limits. And yes, the shoes held up like champs. Bottom line: A tough but rewarding hike--equal parts humbling and awe-inspiring. If you're looking to reconnect with nature and your cardiovascular system, this one's for you.

We started the hike via the Huntington parking lot and hikes the Burrow trail…read more Do not underestimate this hike. It is all incline up and lots of rock scrambling. We are not experienced hikes and took us 5 hrs to finish. It is true that it is shaded the whole time, but no one mentioned about the amount of bugs on the whole trail. After asking a local, we find out that they are called "black flies". They are small and annoying little bugs that cling on to your skin and bite you. We put bugs spray but did not keep them away from us. Apparently they come in season that received alot of rain. (first week of June) And it just happens to hatch new eggs as the weather gets hot and wet. So if you plan to hike this with there is alot of rain, I suggest wearing a netted hat. Because these flies are soon annoying and just takes out the fun of the hike. Although it was not an easy hike with annoying bugs biting our skin, the summit was one of 360 view of the landscape. It is beautiful and view are breathtaking!!!!
