Wed, March 18, 2026
Bring your furry friend on a B.A.R.K. Ranger Hike in Buescher State Park!
Join a Ranger on a 1-mile loop guided hike with your furry friend to learn about keeping them safe on the trails while following B.A.R.K Ranger principles. At the end, receive a B.A.R.K. Ranger certificate!
Meet at the Scenic Overlook. Limited parking, if you are bringing a group of people please carpool.
The trail does have a few sections with hills and inclines. The tread is rocky/sandy.
Bring bottled water, and snacks. Wear closed toe shoes and weather appropriate clothing.
Please consider the following: Is your pet well mannered and used to hiking in large groups with new people they don't know? Is your pet friendly and well mannered to other pets that may attend the hike as well? Is your pet used to being on a six foot leash at all times?
You must follow all regulations while in the park.
- Pets must be on a six-foot or shorter leash at all times.
- You must bring waste bags. If your pet poops in the park, you must bag it up and carry it along the remainder of the hike with you until you can deposit it in a trash bin.
- You must be in control of your pet at all times.
Bring plenty of water, a water dish and treats for your pet for the hike.
This hike is weather dependent. If there is inclement weather, the hike will be canceled.
Park day-use entrance fees do apply. Spring Break will be busy in the park! To ensure your entrance into the park, please make sure to grab your day pass ahead of time by booking online.
