Doggin' Cleveland: The Best of the Best

Read the first 24 pages


Doug Gelbert, author of 22 books on hiking with your dog, has brought his pack to the Pittsburgh area to sniff out the area's best tail-friendly parks and trails for the new book, DOGGIN' CLEVELAND: THE 50 BEST PLACES TO HIKE WITH YOUR DOG IN NORTHEAST OHIO. Cleveland can be a great place to hike with your dog. Within a short drive your canine adventurer can be climbing forested hillsides that leave him panting, trotting in impossibly green ravines, exploring the estates of America's wealthiest families or circling lakes for miles and never lose sight of the water. DOGGIN' Cleveland explores the region's top trails with your best friend in mind...

  • Where can your dog hike across a farm of the Firestone family? (page 24)
  • Where can your dog hike past the largest sugar maple tree in Ohio? (page 53)
  • Where can your dog swim in quarry once helmed by Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormons? (page 55)

No Dogs!

Is there any more dispiriting day for a dog owner than driving to a new park and encountering the dreaded "NO DOGS" sign? DOGGIN' CLEVELAND tells you the parks that don't welcome dogs. Also packed inside these 108 pages are...
...dog-friendly campgrounds
...tips on outfitting your dog for a hike
...tips on practicing low impact hiking with your dog
...and much more.

What makes a great place to take your dog hiking?

Well, how about a paw-friendly surface to trot on? Grass and sandy dirt are a lot more appealing than asphalt and rocks. A variety of hikes is always good - long ones for athletic dogs and short ones for the less adventurous canine. Dogs always enjoy a refreshing place to swim as well. For tail-friendly parks our guides describe the trail options for your dog, evaluate park traffic from other users, tell you whether you will need a guide dog to find your way around and, of course, tell you how to get to the park.

While walking the dog, Gelbert also brings along generous helpings of local history, botany, geology, architecture and more. So what are you waiting for? Your dog will want to hike along the original western border of the United States (page 42), hike to one of the world's largest geodesic domes (page 31), hike to the stone carvings of celebrated folk artist Henry Church (page 39)...
