LI-Dog Pack Walk™ at Sands Point Preserve!

Join LI‑DOG on Sat., June 20th at 11 AM for our next LI‑DOG Pack Walk™ at beautiful, dog‑friendly Sands Point Preserve, the historic 216‑acre former Guggenheim estate! (Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can start on time.)

Our Pack Walks—guided, group on‑leash dog walks—are a wonderful way for you and your pup to socialize while exploring one of Long Island’s most stunning parks. Sands Point Preserve features multiple wooded trails, rolling lawns, a pond, open fields, and sweeping views of the Long Island Sound. Some trails may be a bit steep or uneven with roots and rocks.

We expect the walk to take about one hour, with opportunities for shorter routes for those who prefer them.

🌳 Picnic Lunch After the Walk
Stay for a bring‑your‑own picnic lunch on the great lawn in front of Hempstead House. We’ve reserved the shaded picnic tables. Many thanks to the Preserve for generously waiving the reservation fee for LI‑DOG and our guests!
