“There are approximately 250 shelters strategically spaced along the Appalachian Trail. The typical shelter is called a “lean-to”, having three walls with one open side. They have a metal or shingled roof and a wood floor. All are marked on maps and trail guides, with most located near creeks or springs and some having a privy nearby.”

Take a hike with your dog! Here is a list of Parks in the U.S. that allow dogs on the trail. Remember, always bring plenty of water for your pal on hikes and keep hydrated. For your dog and the wildlife’s safety, keep your pooch leashed. Before you go on a hike with your dog, be sure its rabies and other vaccinations are up-to-date, and that your dog has tested negative for heartworms (transmitted by mosquitoes!!!) and is on a heartworm preventative. Lastly, respect the trails, the wildlife, and our earth by cleaning up after your dog and leaving no trace behind! Most of all, have a great adventure!
