Take a hike with Rover
• Both you and your pooch are probably suffering cabin fever and could use some thawing out on a Dog Lovers Hike. Join up with fellow dog owners for some leash-free roaming at an Ontario provincial park, located within an hour’s drive of the GTA. All hikes include a guided tour of the park, snacks and a buffet lunch. Hikes are held Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and cost $55, including dog. For details, visit dogpaddlingadventures.com.
