  Beware of Ticks

  The park itself is absolutely amazing but upon arrival, my baby got bit by 3 ticks in the parking lot alone and more additionally on the trail. It's a stunning area- just be cautious before bringing your fur babies!

  Lots of great options

  You can stick to the main upper and lower paths but if you are looking for a more rigorous hike the walking paths will take through more scenic places. We hike into the Rainbow Falls we had some challenging ascents and descents and it was gorgeous!

  fabulous, easy hike

  Walking around the lake was lovely. It was a smooth path to follow, and there were numerous places for Galaxy (my dog) to wade into the water (my profile photo is from this hike!) We then moved to the lower parking lot and visited Awosting Falls -- again, swam with the pooch by the waterfall! Beautiful. Easy to go back to the car for supplies, then back to the lake. Bring a picnic lunch, a lot of water and you're good to go.

We dug up 3 pictures of dogs at Minnewaska State Park Preserve.
