“The stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

And those lush forests with all their smells.

They all make it a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Dont miss the chance to hike the Jordan Pond Path orstroll along the scenic Ocean Pathwith your dog.”

The program is intended to teach dog owners the importance of following the rules of B.A.R.K.

(Bag waste; Always wear a leash; Respect wildlife; Know where to go).

The rule is in place to protect not only your dog but also other visitors and wildlife.

Lastly, after a whirlwind day outdoors, remember to check Fido and yourself for ticks.
