    Great place for people and pups!!!

    It was great. My dog loved it. So much room for him to roam. So many cool activities to do. Also the food was way better than I thought it would be.

    Great trails w/ variety but need shoulders.

    Great trails w/ variety but need clearings to escape the bikers. Especially around blind curves. I try to look before I get in one of these blind spots but bikes can come up on you pretty fast. I'm sure the bikers would agree. Great place!

    Bring Fido Along if you don't plan on Rafting

    The whitewater center is dog friendly! You can hike, kayak, and enjoy the riverside bar with your canine friend!

    Watery fun

    We visited in January on a very mild day with 70F temperatures. There was no rafting but still plenty of people on the ziplines and enjoying a bit of unseasonally warm weather. The trails are pet friendly with plenty of doggie amenities. Next time my pup will have to enjoy a bit of kayak time!
