Escape to Mayor Baxter Woods with your fur baby this weekend.

Beautiful pine trees surround the park, making it an excellent place for hikes and long, quiet walks.

You can enjoy breathtaking river views from this 30-acre nature preserve, and there are plenty of shaded trails that are also suitable for mountain biking.

The park is just a stone’s throw away from Back Cove, and the trails connect to Evergreen Cemetery across Stevens Avenue.

Dogs are welcome at Mayor Baxter Woods. You’ll see that the park trails have several on- and off-leash areas.

You’ll find many park-goers on the trails during peak season, so make sure you keep a close watch on your dog to avoid any accidents.

Clean up after your pet as well. Bring poop bags, pick up dog waste promptly, and throw away used bags in the designated waste bins.

Bring a bottle of water and your dog’s bowl, along with other essentials like a first-aid kit.

You’ll love visiting Mayor Baxter Woods during winter, too. You can go snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing on-site.

Visit the park’s website for important updates and announcements.
