Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Wisconsin

I've been enjoying your website, and I noticed that you are missing two great dog - friendly hiking trails in Wisconsin. The Ice Age Trail - I attached a map of the North Kettle Moraine to this email which has a 32+ mile section of the Ice Age Trail pass through, and is a one hour drive northwest of Milwaukee. http://www.iceagetrail.org/trail-map-and-current-conditions And the North Country Nat'l Scenic Trail, which also goes through North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. http://northcountrytrail.org/trail/states/wisconsin/

Here's a handy pet welcome guide for the parks in WI:

I've also taken them to the Devils Lake Park in Baraboo, WI. I'm too lazy to look up their websitbut I think its listed on the pet welcome guide link.
Thanks! WI must be getting better about allowing our 4 legged friends in parks. I've only lived here 5 years now and honestly have not met with many problems.
