Those looking for an outdoor activity to enjoy with a canine companion later this week should check out Moraine State Park.
The Park Naturalist is leading a Dog Days of Summer Hike from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Pleasant Valley Non-Motorized Launch Area on the South Shore.
Participants will learn about dog safety on the tail and what to carry to keep the hike enjoyable. Hikers will be heading around the nearly two mile short loop which is an easy trail.
Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome. Owners must also pick up after dogs. Those planning to attend should wear sturdy hiking boots, dress for the weather, and bring drinking water. Call the park office to register or for more information.
