1. THE HIKES (10:30 am – 1:30 pm)

• The Puppy Party (1 hr): Starting at the Off-Leash Area. 70 acres of fenced-in woods and water for the dogs to go wild.
• The Flow (1.5 hrs): Trekking South Main & Slalom. A 2.9-mile moderate wooded trail with great berms and rolling singletrack.
• The Scenic Route (45 mins): Finishing with the Lake Loop—a chill 1.6-mile stroll around the water.

2. THE SOCIAL (2:00 pm – 4:00 pm)

• Lunch & Drinks: Refueling at Barley House or River's Edge. This is the prime time to hang out, grab a cold one, and relax with the pups.

3. THE ACTIVITIES (Optional Add-Ons)

• Not ready to call it a day? Grab an activity pass and keep the adrenaline going:
• 🚲 Mountain Biking: Shred the same trails we just hiked!
• 🧗 Deep Water Solo: Test your grip climbing over the pool.
• 🛶 Flatwater Kayaking/SUP: A peaceful paddle on the Catawba.
• ⚡ Ziplines & Ropes: High-flying fun for the brave.
