Dog Day Out! (SPCA of Polk County)
Sat, September 26, 2026
Come hike with SPCA of Polk County's dogs!
Join Lake Livingston State Park Staff and SPCA of Polk County to go on a guided hike with dogs!
Meeting place: Pineywoods Boardwalk Trailhead.
Meeting time: 10AM.
Hike duration: Approximately 1 hour.
Reminder: No restrooms are available nearby so make sure you and everyone in your group has gone to the restroom before the hike starts.
SPCA of Polk County will be bringing some of their dogs from the shelter out to the park for a walk along the Pineywoods Boardwalk Trail. The public is welcome to come and walk some of SPCA's dogs during the hike!
We will be meeting at the Pineywoods Boardwalk Trailhead and the hike will begin at 10AM and last around an hour!
Collars and leashes will be provided by them, so no need to bring your own!
Ranger Eric will be guiding the hike to teach visitors about the park and our resources along the way.
Dogs will be walked by visitors on a first come first serve basis, but if all dogs are being walked by visitors upon arrival, you are still more than welcome to hike with us!
It will be at the discretion of SPCA's staff to decide which dogs will be the best fit for each visitor to walk.
If you connect with any of the dogs and wish to adopt one, you can do so following the hike at SPCA of Polk County, which is only a 10 minute drive from the park!
Please note, it is NOT permitted for visitors to bring their own dogs on this hike!
Come out to the park and meet the dogs!
