We adopted a new puppy earlier this summer. The rescue group advised us to socialize her with as many dogs and people as possible. So when I noticed Take A Hike! NJ had scheduled a dog friendly hike at Ramapo Reservation, I decided to take Trudy and Lily.
The group followed the yellow trail to the waterfall and then continued up to MacMillan Reservoir. Some of the Labradors and golden retrievers in the group enjoyed splashing around in the water.
We’d taken this route a few weeks earlier with Trudy, Lily and a friend’s dog. The MacMillan Reservoir was originally created to supply the nearby Crocker Mansion, built in 1907. Now, people fish there or let their dogs frolic in the water.

Sounds like someone wanted to go swimming 😉 Love it when public spaces make room for free-roaming, well-socialized dogs!
She’s a puppy who loves every strange dog we encounter and wants to play with them. From what I’ve observed, she doesn’t like to get wet. Yes, we love that Ramapo is a doggie haven😊
Cute doggies! 🙂
Thanks 😊🐶
