A Dog Lover's Guide to Hiking Wisconsin's State Parks
Danielle St. Louis
“People who love their dogs and who love Wisconsin's state parks will love this book. It provides everything one could need for taking a dog hiking, including evocative trail descriptions, practical tips for keeping everyone safe and happy, and excellent advice on how to use the parks in a respectful, sustainable way for the benefit of not only the parks but their visitors, both four- and two-footed.”
—Scott Spoolman, author of Wisconsin State Parks
Danielle St. Louis and her energetic Labrador-border collie rescue dog, Lucky, have hiked every Wisconsin state park together. While doing so, they enjoyed the state’s rich natural beauty and the challenges that can come from hiking with a canine companion. St. Louis documents it all in this fun and thorough guide.
A Dog Lover’s Guide to Hiking Wisconsin’s State Parks divides Wisconsin into five regions and further details specific trails, graded for dog reactivity as well as the fitness level of human and canine alike. St. Louis also helpfully notes the availability of nearby facilities such as bathrooms, water stations, trashcans, designated dog swimming areas, and veterinarians. Truly one of a kind, this book is a must have for any Wisconsin dog lover looking to go out into nature with their pup.
